Ingredients

Coarse salt

12 ounces fettuccine

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup half-and-half

1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and set aside (reserve pot).

In pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add half-and-half and cheeses; stir to combine, and bring just to a simmer. Add pasta, and toss to combine. If needed, gradually add enough reserved pasta water to thin sauce (sauce will thicken as it stands). Serve sprinkled with parsley.
