📝Instructions

  1. 1

    On a clean work surface, mound the flour and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil and salt.

  2. 2

    Using a fork, beat the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour. Continue until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin. Cut into fettuccine strips and set aside.

  5. 5

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

  7. 7

    Reduce heat to low, then gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

    Season the sauce with black pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste.
