Ingredients

1 pound fettuccine pasta or any long pasta
2 cups heavy whipping cream
⅔ cup good quality Parmesan cheese
¼ cup butter
1 ½ teaspoons fresh parsley or 3 teaspoons fresh
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Boil pasta according to package directions.

Pour into a colander and leave to drain while you prepare the sauce.

Combine cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter in the same pot the pasta was cooked in.

Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until cheese is totally melted, about 2 minutes.

Toss pasta, salt and pepper, and parsley together with the sauce.

Taste to adjust seasonings and serve! Favorite toppings are bacon bits, additional cheese, and peas.
