Notes
Al dente pasta: Cook fettuccine just until al dente to ensure a perfect texture in the final dish.
Adjust consistency: Adjust the thickness of the sauce with reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding reserved pasta water, water, or beef stock if needed. I don't recommend freezing the creamy sauce as it may separate upon thawing.
