Alfredo Sauce for 2

• 2 Tbs. Butter
• 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese (not the powdered kind)
• 1 cup cream

Melt the butter in a double boiler over low heat. Add in the cream and Parmesan and cook over low heat for at least 20 minutes stirring often. After 15 minutes start the water for your pasta. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. When the pasta is done, coat the noodles with sauce. 

This meal is delicious with garlic butter shrimp and steamed green beans. 

You can go traditional with fettuccine noodles or change things up with other kinds. My favorite is radiatori. The ridges hold the sauce really well.

You can easily make a double boiler by placing a small pot inside a slightly larger pot. The outside pot should have an couple inches of water. Enough that the smaller pot touches the water but not enough that it boils over the edges when the water boils.
