One Pot Fettucine Alfredo

In my opinion this is way better than the canned Alfredo sauce and easy to make.
-cook your noodles like you normally would
-if you like broccoli in your Alfredo then add some broccoli flowerets in with your boiling noodles just two minutes before you are going to take the noodles out.
-put noodles/broccoli in a strainer and leave it there for a minute.
-in the same pot add one pint of whipping cream, let it heat up a bit. (careful! it only takes a minute to warm up and you don't want it to overflow on you)
-when it's nice and warm add 1 bag of grated Parmesan cheese, whisk until smooth
-put your noodles and broccoli back in the pot and toss together with the sauce.
notes:
a) Some people put butter in their sauce but I found that you really don't need it, plus it cuts down on the calories a bit.
b) To make your fettucine stretch more and be more colorful and tasty try adding mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and/or chicken.
c) Try different pasta with the sauce for something different like bowtie, wheat, orzo or angelhair.
