- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and Parmesan until creamy.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of cooking water; drain pasta.

- Serve the pasta immediately. Fettuccine Alfredo is best enjoyed when it's hot and fresh.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a touch of extra flavor and elegance.
