Method
- Boil the fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water.
- Melt butter and soften the garlic clove. Whisk heavy cream with the egg yolk and pour into the pan. Warm gently without boiling.
- Toss the hot fettuccine in the cream. Add parmesan, salt and black pepper, loosening with pasta water until glossy.
- Serve at once.
Shopping tip
Dried fettuccine is fine. Use nata para bater or nata para culinária, not UHT drinking cream. Grate parmesan yourself.
