Ingredients

Steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Pancetta

• Cube the pancetta into small, bite-sized pieces.
• Pan sear the pancetta over medium heat until it’s crispy and golden brown.
• Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
• Reserve ⅔ cup of the pasta water before draining the pasta.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

• In the same pan used for the pancetta, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the finely grated parmesan cheese to the melted butter, stirring continuously.
• Gradually add more cheese, batch by batch, ensuring it melts and incorporates smoothly.

Step 4: Combine and Simmer

• Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the butter and cheese mixture.
• Pour in the reserved pasta water a little at a time, stirring to create a creamy sauce.
• Simmer gently, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pasta evenly.
• Finish with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Transfer the pasta to serving plates.
• Top with the crispy pancetta pieces.
• Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, delicious Simple Alfredo Sauce pasta!

Notes

• For the best flavor, use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
• Adjust the amount of pasta water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
• Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley or basil, for an extra burst of flavor.
