CLASSIC FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook Noodles in salted water according to package directions, approx 10-15 minutes.
• Drain well and place in a container (chafing dish or skillet) large enough to allow enough room to toss slippery noodles without accident.
• Place over low heat or sterno.
• Add butter in several hunks to the noodles and stir gently until it melts and coats them well.
• Add the cream and stir in a generous amount of black pepper.
• (Use a peppermill here if you have one).
• Add the cheese, saving a small amount for later use on top of portions (Cheese is sometimes grated into the dish, but I like to have mine ready).
• Stir as mixture thickens and clings to noodles.
• Serve immediately.
• Pass the remaining cheese.
