Steps

1Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2When your pasta is nearly finished cooking, in a small pot, melt butter. Stir in half and half/milk/cream, garlic powder, optional dried parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Heat until steaming, just before it's ready to simmer. Turn heat to low and stir in parmesan.
3Continue to stir over low heat until parmesan is completely melted into the sauce. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
4Pour sauce over drained fettuccine noodles and toss. Allow the pasta to sit for 5 minutes to cool and sauce to thicken slightly.
5Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy!
