Fettuccine con salsa alla panna

Fettuccine with Cream Sauce

This dish is certainly very easy and quick to prepare but the result is delicious. Keep it in mind when you have unexpected guests.

Ingredients:

12 oz. fettuccine
2 1/2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup freshly grated Italian parmesan
1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp. freshly grounded white pepper
salt to taste


Instructions:

1. In a pan warm the butter and the cream. Combine them well and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Approximately for 15 minutes.
2. When it's ready add the nutmeg and the pepper and set the pan aside.
3. Meanwhile cook the pasta as directed.
4. When ready drain the pasta, add it to the cream and mix in the parmesan cheese. If it gets too dry just add a little bit of milk.
5. Serve immediately.

Notes:

This pasta dish is versatile so if you like it you can also add your favorite vegetables and a little bit of garlic to spice up the taste. I suggest that you blanch the vegetables before adding them to the sauce and let them cook for a couple of minutes before the sauce is ready.
