Part 5/6:
Fresh pasta cooks incredibly quickly — approximately 60 seconds. Submerge the fettuccine into the boiling water, and wait until it floats, cooking for an additional 15 to 20 seconds before draining. Immediately add the pasta to the prepared sauce, along with a splash of pasta water and some freshly cracked pepper. Mix everything together, allowing the pasta to soak up the sauce.
Plating the Dish
To serve, neatly roll the pasta into a nest and transfer it onto your plate, finishing with a light dusting of cheese and a touch more cracked pepper for garnish. Fettuccini Alfredo embodies simplicity while delivering a richness in flavor that is hard to resist.
