Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Slowly add the milk, then season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to warm the milk for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the reserved cooked pasta on top of the butter and milk mixture. Add the reserved pasta water and stir until the sauce clings to the pasta.
- Turn off the heat, add the grated cheeses and stir until the sauce has thickened and well combined with the pasta, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: The pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it on the stovetop (adding a little water to help loosen the sauce) or in the microwave until the pasta's warmed through.
