1
Cook the Fettuccini
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

2
Prepare the Butter Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add black pepper and stir to combine.
3
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained fettuccini to the skillet with the butter sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

4
Add Cheese and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Romano cheese and chopped parsley. Toss again to combine. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional cheese and parsley if desired.
