Add fettuccine to a large pan.

Add water and salt to the pan with the fettuccine.

Cover the pan and turn the flame to medium to bring to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, gently stir the noodles and cover again.

Cook the pasta according to the timing on the packaging, usually 6 to 8 minutes; mine took 7 minutes.

Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent boiling over.

After 7 minutes, remove the lid and turn the flame to high to let any leftover water come to a rolling boil for a minute.

Once you have about an inch of water left, turn the flame to low and add butter and grated parmesan cheese.

Mix everything well until combined and creamy.

Adjust the thickness of the sauce by leaving it on the stove longer if desired.

Turn off the stove and add black pepper and parsley if desired.
