Alfredo Sauce Without Cream

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound fettuccine pasta

  cooked
• 4 ounce unsalted butter
• 4 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup hot pasta water
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• 2 Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al
  dente.
• 3 Reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
• 4 In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• 5 Once the butter is melted, add the cooked fettuccine to the pan.
• 6 Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, tossing the
  pasta continuously to coat it evenly with butter and cheese.
• 7 Slowly add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, tossing the
  pasta until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. The starchy pasta water helps to
  emulsify the butter and cheese, creating a creamy texture.
• 8 Continue to add pasta water as needed until you reach your desired sauce
  consistency.
• 9 Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• 10 Serve the fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if
  desired.
