Boiling salted water
1 c. butter, softened
1/3 to 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly cracker pepper

Drop fettuccine into water and cook until fettuccine comes to the surface (approximately 2 minutes). Drain and place in a warm bowl in which half the softened butter has been placed.

Top with lumps of remaining butter and cheese. Toss lightly (2 minutes) until fettuccine is well coated and a creamy sauce has formed. Add pepper and additional cheese.

Serves 4.
