Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter 1/2 pound grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving Salt 1 pound fettuccine

Directions

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.

Return fettuccine to warm pot. Toss pasta with 1/2 teaspoon salt, cheese mixture, and 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add more pasta water, as needed. Serve with additional cheese.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/29/2018   Worked perfectly, I used to use cream to make my fettuccine Alfredo,not any more!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       05/08/2018   Every time I have made this I try a slightly different order-sometimes it is creamier or stickier depending on which way I do it but it is always rich and delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/08/2015   I made this tonight with homemade noodles and LOVED it! This is fettuccine as it's mean to be. If you simply follow the recipe and also understand that cream is not needed, you'll easily recreate this 5 star recipe. My family couldn't get enough.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       05/20/2015   I prepared this meal last night with rave reviews - I also added shrimp that was steamed separately with Old Bay (that flavor did NOT transmit onto the fetticini alfredo). My Son is enjoying leftovers tonight. I would highly recommend primarily because it is an easily prepared meal with a hint of elegance served with a nice side salad and a appropriate glass of wine.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/26/2015   I used 8oz of butter, a 16oz can of parmesan, some garlic, some pepper (roughly 1/4tsp) and blended fully in my mixer while my pasta cooked. Took out 1/4 liquid Oz of pasta water, drained my pasta, returned to stove on low heat, added water first then mixture. Stirred it around til creamy/cheesy and it was soooo good. Basil is a great topper.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/15/2014   Is it four ounces of eight ounces of butter ?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2014   Must be awful, Alfredo has cream....  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/14/2014   @Ilsa you're supposed to keep stirring it until it comes together (this takes a really long time)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/30/2013   So easy yet so decadent.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2012   Mine turned out awful! I melted the butter in the sauce pan and then added the cheese and it didn't come together! I had to throw the whole thing out. What did I do wrong?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/31/2012   this sounds so good!!
