Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (57 g)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely minced (about 3 Tablespoons)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (236 ml)
  • 1 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese (55 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus additional to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground preferred
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg about 1/16th teaspoon
  • Chopped parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook according to package instructions. Once pasta finishes cooking, reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
  2. While pasta is cooking you can begin preparing your sauce.
  3. Melt butter with olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add shallot and cook until softened.
  4. Reduce heat to low. While whisking the butter/shallot, slowly drizzle in cream. Allow it to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  5. Add grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
  6. Add salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg, and taste-test and add additional salt if needed.
  7. Add warm, cooked fettuccine to the pot along with a splash (about 2-3 Tablespoons) of reserved pasta water). Stir well until sauce and pasta are creamy and emulsified. If needed, add additional pasta water, a splash at a time.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
