Fettucine Alfredo

1/4 to 1/3 pound butter
250 ml / 1 cup cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
freshly ground pepper
fresh fettucine noodles (about a 1 lb package)

Put on water to cook fettucine. At the same time start the sauce
below. Add fettucine when water is boils. Should be ready at the
same time as sauce.

Melt butter over low heat in a large saucepan (large enough to mix
up fettucine in). Add chopped garlic. When butter is all melted,
add cream. Add ground pepper to taste. Continue cooking on low
heat. Once mixture is _almost_ boiling, add parmesan cheese. This
should make the sauce _very_ creamy. If not, add more cheese.
Remove from heat.

Add drained fettucine noodles to the sauce and mix thoroughly.

Serve immediately with a Caesar salad and some fresh bread. Serves
2 very hungry people or 3 moderate portions.
