Noodles, fettucini (enough for 6)
Boiling salted water
1 1/2 c. soft or melted sweet butter
2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 c. heavy cream (bought)
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook the noodles in a large quantity of boiling salted water until tender. Allow about 4 minutes for thin noodles, longer for thick ones. Drain well. Place noodles in hot casserole over low heat. Add butter, cheese, and cream, a little at a time, tossing gently after each addition. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
