Alright, pasta lovers, gather 'round! It's time to whip up a classic Italian dish that'll have your taste buds doing the tarantella. We're talking homemade fettuccine Alfredo, baby! And trust us, with your trusty PebbleGrip by your side, this recipe will be a breeze.

Ingredients:

• 14 oz fettuccine pasta 
• 1 cup heavy cream (go big or go home, right?)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter 
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 
• Fresh basil

Instructions:

1. Cook the Fettuccine:
• Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. 
• Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This typically takes about 8-10 minutes. 
• Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside. (PebbleGrip to the rescue for lifting that heavy pot!)
2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
• In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned. 
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.
3. Add the Cheese:
• Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce becomes too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. 
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
• Add the cooked fettuccine to the pan with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
5. Season and Serve:
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If needed, add more pasta water to achieve the perfect consistency. 
• Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil. 

Tips:

• Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor, none of that pre-shredded nonsense.
• Cream: Heavy cream works best, but you can use half-and-half for a lighter version.
• Garlic: Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. Some prefer more, some less. 
• Protein Additions: For a heartier dish, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or sautéed mushrooms.
