    Add the fettuccine directly into the simmering liquid. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged. Cook according to package directions, typically 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente.

    Keep stirring every few minutes, especially in a one-pot dish, to prevent the pasta from clumping or sticking to the bottom.

    Once the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
