Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients
3 cups water
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated fettuccine pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, Romano, Asiago cheese blend
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch of pepper

Steps
1. Combine water and pasta in microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH 5 minutes.
2. While pasta cooks, prepare sauce. Melt butter in large sauté pan on medium-high. Combine cornstarch and half-and-half in small bowl until blended and smooth. Stir into melted butter; bring to a full boil, whisking often.
3. Meanwhile, stir pasta to loosen noodles; cover and microwave 1 more minute or until pasta is tender.
4. Remove sauce from heat; whisk in cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth. Drain pasta thoroughly; stir into sauce until blended. Serve.
