Step 1

Bring a large pot of boiling water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it according to package directions.

Step 2

While the pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the cream and increase the heat to medium. Whisk the butter and cream until well combined.

Step 3

Once the cream is steaming hot, add the cheese and whisk until it’s melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Using tongs, transfer the pasta from the pot to the Alfredo sauce. Toss it around in the sauce for a minute or until it’s well coated. Add the garnishes, if using, and it’s ready to serve.
