       1 lb	   fettuccine noodles or _t_a_g_l_i_a_t_e_l_l_e
       1/2 cup	   soft	butter
       1 cup	   heavy cream
       1/4 cup	   freshly grated Parmesan cheese
       Freshly ground black pepper

       Bring a large pot (at least 6-8 quarts) of water	to a boil.
       Add two tablespoons of salt.  Cook the noodles for about	8-
       10 minutes until	just tender when tested	with a fork.  Drain
       the noodles well	and put	them immediately in a chafing dish
       or electric frying pan.	Take the pan to	the table.

       At the table, light the heater for the chafing dish and turn
       it down low or put the frypan on	its lowest setting.  Toss
       the butter in chunks in the noodles and stir until the
       butter is melted.  Add the cream	and grind a generous amount
       of black	pepper over the	noodles.  Continue cooking and
       tossing gently until the	cream thickens and sticks to the
       noodles.	 Add the cheese	and stir to mix.  Serve
       immediately.

       NOTES:  I actually make this in a cast-iron skillet on the stove and
       I find that it helps to melt a little of the butter to coat the
       skillet before adding the pasta.  This amount is an appetizer for
       four or a full main course for two or three people.
