Pasta Preparation
- Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flours and eggs. If the dough is too dry, add a little water until achieving a homogeneous dough.

- Step 3
Cut the dough into 12 mm wide strips resembling tagliatelle.

Begin the Fettuccine Alfredo preparation by cooking the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet.

Transfer the fettuccine to the skillet with the melted butter.
- Step 4
Off the heat, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
