  • step 1
    ingredients 2 tablespoons salt
    1 1/2 pound Basic Pasta Dough cut into Fettucine or 1 pound Dry Fettuccine Pasta
    instructions NOTE: If you are cutting your own pasta, dust it with semolina flour first.  Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add 2 tablespoons salt. Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and place in a large warmed bowl.

    1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano plus extra to garnish
    2 tablespoons Olive Oil
    Grappa to taste (optional)
    Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper to taste
    instructions Add the butter, the oil, parmigiano and grappa (optional) and toss until the butter and cheese have melted, adding a splash or two of the pasta cooking water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
