Fettucine Alfredo

With 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of butter and 1 1/2 cups of parmesan cheese, this dish should have been much better. For some reason, this sauce turned gritty on me and clung to the pasta in a not so attractive manner.

We love Alfredo but won't make this particular recipe again. The recipe I usually use has no additional butter in it (making in lower in fat) and we like it much better.

This very rich sauce with cream, butter and parmesan cheese, cooked up just as the directions said, and richly coated the fettuccine noodles. We used just under the amount of Parmesan cheese called for, anymore would have been too salty, and were glad that we added no salt to either the sauce or the pasta water. The only off note was the parsley garnish, I should have tasted it; it was harsh and felt like thistle tips going down. It is the best Fettuccine Alfredo recipe we have cooked so far.
