Boil the fettuccine in salted water until al dente.
Reserve 1.5 cups of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
Melt the butter in a wide pan over low heat and keep it warm without browning it.
Add the pasta to the pan and toss it with half a cup of pasta water.
Turn off the heat, add the Parmesan gradually, and work the sauce into the pasta.
Loosen the sauce with the remaining pasta water if needed, then serve immediately with black pepper.
💡 Tip: Adding the cheese after turning off the heat keeps the sauce glossy and prevents it from splitting.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve immediately with freshly ground black pepper and a simple green salad.
