Description

Pappardelli alla BiancaHere's a subtle and delicious creamy white pasta sauce that is easy to prepare in just the time that it takes to cook the pasta. 

You want to use good pasta, because the flavors are not strong and a good pasta shines through. We used Garofalo pappardelli in this photo, but I think it would work fine with most types of pasta.

This is a good primo dish before chicken or fish main dishes.

Yield
4 Servings
Preparation time
5 minutes
Ingredients
4 T Butter (Unsalted)
1 c Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (freshly grated)
4 T Heavy Cream
Instructions
  1. In a big skillet over low heat, melt the butter and add half of the cheese, and maybe a little pepper.
  2. When the pasta is cooked and drained, put it in the skillet and stir it around with the melted mixture, then add the cream and remaining cheese and stir until all of the pasta is lightly coated. Add salt if needed.
  3. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
Notes
This is traditionally served with fettuccine or other long, flat pasta.
