Fettuccine with Cheese and Pepper
Simple, elegant, and full of flavour, Fettuccine with Cheese and Pepper is a classic Italian dish that proves less is more. Otway Pasta Company’s fresh fettuccine provides the perfect canvas for this rich, buttery sauce, brought to life with freshly cracked black pepper and generous handfuls of parmesan.
The pepper is gently toasted to release its bold aroma before being emulsified with pasta water and butter into a silky sauce that clings to every ribbon of pasta. With no cream or fuss, this dish is all about balance—sharp cheese, warm spice, and perfect pasta. It’s quick to prepare, comforting to eat, and always hits the spot.
