1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
2
Drain the Pasta
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander, reserving a bit of the pasta water (about 1/4 cup) if you want to adjust the consistency later.
3
Saute the Pasta
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the drained fettuccine to the pot and toss to coat in the melted butter. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water.
4
Add Cheese and Season
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Serve the pasta warm, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side for sprinkling if desired.
