The original, or authentic recipe of this Italian pasta dish has only three ingredients – fettuccine, butter and Parmigiano Reggiano. Nothing more, nothing less. And this is where its beauty lies – in it’s simplicity, just like a lot of other Italian dishes. It is irresistibly creamy, cheesy and smooth, while not being heavy at the same time. I think that this is a characteristic that all pasta sauces that use the emulsion of the cooking water share. It is absolutely delightful! If you’d like to impress your friends, family or someone special, make that for them 🙂 Enjoy!
Ingredients (feeds two):
Fettuccine – 120g
Butter – 50g
Parmigiano Reggiano – 100g
Pasta water ~ 2 small ladles

Do you know, if it had like ham in it, its closer to a British carbonara.
Serves 2? Who ya kidding? 😅
Looks really creamy. Don't call the cops on me… I'll still end up serving it with some chicken!
