Just a splash of sparkling wine updates this timeless pasta dish. Side it with a garden of Caesar salad for the full-on retro appeal.
1 500-g pkg fettuccine pasta
1 cup 35% cream, divided
1/4 cup dry sparkling wine
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated parmesan
sea salt and pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pot.
Meanwhile, add 1⁄2 cup cream, sparkling wine and butter to a medium saucepan over medium-low. Simmer for 5 min, allowing sauce to thicken. Add remaining 1⁄2 cup cream and simmer for 3 to 4 min more. Add cheese, salt and pepper; simmer just until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Add sauce to pot with drained pasta. Heat on low and toss to coat.
