Instructions


0 Melt the butter over medium heat.
1 Add the cream and let it warm through gently. No boiling. We’re coaxing, not summoning a storm.
2 Take the pan off the heat.
3 Add the Parmesan a handful at a time, whisking like you mean it. Let each addition melt before adding more. The residual heat will melt it into a smooth, glossy sauce instead of a grainy mess.
4 If it feels a little thick, loosen it with a splash of hot pasta water. That starch pulls everything together like a good family secret.
5 Toss immediately with hot pasta and serve.
