heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories, while milk is more budget-friendly.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and calories, while a cheese blend can be more affordable.

Boil water in a pot and add salt (less than usual).

Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until ready.

While the pasta is cooking, finely grate aged Parmigiano cheese and sift it through a fine sieve to make it powdery.

In a bowl, combine half the butter with the finely grated Parmigiano cheese.

Add hot pasta cooking water to the bowl and mix vigorously to create a creamy sauce.

Once the fettuccine is cooked, add the remaining butter to the pasta.

Combine the fettuccine with the creamy Parmigiano sauce off the heat and mix quickly to coat the pasta evenly.

Plate the fettuccine and add a little more creamy sauce on top.
