Fettuccine Alfredo
8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
1/2 cup margarine or butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Chopped fresh parsley
Fill the Dutch oven about half full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if
desired. Cover and heat over high heat until the water is boiling rapidly.
Add the fettuccine. Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered 11 to 13
minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. To test fettuccine for
doneness, cut a strand of fettuccine on the side of the Dutch oven. While
fettuccine is cooking, continue with the recipe to make the Alfredo sauce.
Heat the margarine and whipping cream in the saucepan over low heat,
stirring constantly, until margarine is melted. Stir in the cheese, salt
and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Drain the fettuccine in a strainer or colander, and place in a large
serving bowl or back in the Dutch oven. Pour the sauce over the hot
fettuccine, and stir until fettuccine is well coated. Sprinkle with
parsley.

Tips
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will make a thinner sauce than will
canned grated cheese.
Other pastas may be substituted for the fettuccine. The sauce will
cling best to a flat, narrow shape, such as linguine or spaghetti.
