Fettucine Alfredo

This is not the healthiest dish in the world, but it's a classic and it's delicious.

1/4 cup of butter
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 pound fettuccine (fresh pasta is best for a dish like this, but dry will do)
2 egg yolks
1 cup Parmesan cheese (the closest you can get to freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese the better)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Cook cream and butter together in a medium saucepan until they are melted together, around 1 minute. Turn off heat. Meanwhile, cook the pasta.

Strain pasta and add the butter and cream mixture. Turn the heat on medium and add the egg yolks, cheese and black pepper.

Stir vigorously, mixing the egg yolks and cheese in and coating all of the pasta with the sauce.

Serve immediately, garnish with additional parmesan cheese on top.
