分步操作

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add the salt for the pasta water.

   约 8分钟

   烹饪提示： Using plenty of water prevents the pasta from sticking together as it cooks.

2. 2

   Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

   约 10分钟

   烹饪提示： Stir the pasta occasionally during the first minute of cooking to prevent clumping.

3. 3

   Before draining the pasta, carefully scoop out and reserve some of the starchy cooking water, then set it aside.

   烹饪提示： This starchy water is key to adjusting the sauce consistency later.

4. 4

   Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

   约 1分钟

5. 5

   Return the empty pot to the stove over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.

   约 1分钟

6. 6

   Add the softened cream cheese to the pot and whisk vigorously until it melts into the butter, forming a mostly smooth paste.

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： Using softened cream cheese helps it melt more quickly and evenly.

7. 7

   Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth and uniform.

   约 1分钟

8. 8

   Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking until the cheese is fully melted.

   约 1分钟

9. 9

   Return the cooked fettuccine to the pot with the sauce. Use tongs to toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated.

   约 1分钟

10. 10

    If the sauce seems too thick, add a small splash of the reserved pasta water and stir until it reaches your desired consistency.

    烹饪提示： Add the pasta water gradually, as you may not need all of it.

    Serve immediately, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
