Step-by-Step Method
Melt the butter
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. If it is foaming, reduce the heat a little; Be careful not to burn it.
Add the cream
Pour the cream into the pot and stir over low heat for 2–3 minutes until heated. Instead of boiling, a slight steam release is sufficient.
Fold in the Parmesan
Add grated parmesan cheese little by little. Mix with a wire whisk after each addition until smooth.
Thicken and sweeten
When the sauce thickens slightly, add salt and pepper. If necessary, adjust the consistency by stirring over low heat for another 1–2 minutes.
Prepare to serve
Remove from heat. Stir immediately into pasta; If it is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of hot pasta water and turn it on.
