Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Instant-read thermometer (recommended)

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz uncooked fettuccine
  • 6 tbsp butter cubed
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 2 large egg yolks lightly beaten
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Minced fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside once tender.
  • Make the Base: Place a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt gently without browning.
  • Stir in the Creamy Elements: Pour in the heavy cream and stir until it’s fully blended. Mix in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, all of the Romano cheese, the egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  • Gently Heat the Sauce: Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and reaches 160°F. Avoid letting it come to a boil.
  • Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the drained pasta into the sauce along with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Stir until the noodles are coated evenly.
  • Finish and Serve: If using, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slowly and add a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the sauce a day ahead. Just reheat it gently before mixing with freshly cooked pasta.
Avoid Mistakes:
  • Don’t overheat the sauce to prevent curdling.
  • Use a thermometer if possible to hit the right temperature.
  • Keep pasta al dente to maintain a nice bite when mixed with the sauce.
