Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

- Put water on to boil for the noodles. As the water comes to a boil, start preparing the sauce. In a separate pan melt unsalted (sweet) butter over very low heat - DO NOT LET IT BROWN!!
- Once the butter has melted, stir into the butter: light cream (or the diluted Creme Fraiche), freshly grated parmesan cheese. Beat this with a whisk to keep the sauce from clumping. Once the sauce is smooth, season the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of fresh parsley (optional), and a little pepper (optional).
- Turn the sauce down to a simmer and add fresh Fettucine noodles (or a batch of homemade noodles) to the boiling water. When the noodles are cooked al dente, drain and toss gently with sauce. Serve immediately.
- The order of these steps is important, as it is better to make the sauce wait for the noodles than to make the noodles wait for the sauce.
