1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
pinch ground black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 x 12 ounces box fettuccine pasta (or your choice of pasta)
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick. While sauce cooks, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it.
Spoon pasta onto serving plates with Alfredo sauce poured over the top.
Makes 2 – 3 large servings.
