Hi Everyone!!
Lots of people looking for Alfredo Sauce here is a quick recipe you can use for any type of pasta you can also add Chicken or Shrimp if you wanted or make it like a Primavera (lots of veggies)!!!

1 pint of heavy cream
1/2 (1 stick) unsalted butter,softened
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Freshly cracked black pepper
Chopped Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley,for garnish
To prepare alfredo sauce: Heat heavy cream over low medium heat in a deep saute pan. Add butter and whisk gently to melt. Sprinkle in cheese and stir to incorporate. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. In a large stockpot,cook pasta in plenty of boiled salted water. Quickly drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan,gently toss the noodles to coat in the alfredo. Transfer pasta to a warm serving bowl. Top with more grated cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
