Fettuccine Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo is a family favorite but I'd never made it until my niece Kallen requested it for her birthday dinner.  I got the recipe from a coworker who also likes to cook and he said it was THE BOMB.  He wasn't kidding, it was very good!

1 pkg fettuccine noodles
2 sticks butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
chopped fresh parsley
Optional: couple cloves minced garlic

In a large sauce pot, cook fettuccine as directed on package.

While fettuccine is cooking, in a 2 quart saucepan,  heat butter and whipping cream over low heat, stirring constantly until butter is melted.  Remove from heat then stir in salt, pepper, and cheese.

Drain fettuccine, return to sauce pot.  Pour sauce over warm fettuccine, stir until fettuccine is well coated.  Sprinkle with parsley.
