How to Make Fettuccine - Plain And Simple
- Prepare pasta according to package directions
- While pasta is cooking; in a medium saucepan, on medium heat; saute the garlic in a tablespoon of oil, just long enough to extract flavor, do not burn.
- Add the 3 cups of cream, bring to a simmer, add the paprika, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly as so not to scorch.
Continue simmering until sauce starts to thicken ( about 10 - 15 minutes ). It may seem too thin, but will thicken as it starts to cool down. If you want it thicker just add some more Parmesan. - When pasta is finished cooking, drain well. I add a small amount of olive oil and toss.
Plate your pasta; ladle sauce over the pasta, sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese and scallions..
**I don't rinse my pasta, the sauce will adhere better if not rinsed. - You can add chicken, mushrooms, peppers, whatever you like..we were just in the mood for simple..
