🧂 Ingredients

1 Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, then gradually
whisk in the flour until a smooth mixture forms.
2 Gradually incorporate the milk and heavy cream into the flour mixture, whisking
continuously until smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring
occasionally until it thickens slightly.
3 Take the skillet off the heat and whisk in the Parmesan cheese and pesto until
fully combined.
4 At the same time, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions,
ensuring to reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
5 Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, ensuring the noodles are well coated.
6 Gradually add the reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches a creamy
consistency.
7 Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve the pasta warm, with
additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
