Fettuccine pasta pairs best with creamy sauces. One option for making a creamy sauce is to combine butter, heavy cream, pecorino cheese, and an egg yolk in a frying pan and season the pasta. Lemon pepper—a mixture of lemon zest and ground black pepper—is ideal as a seasoning. Fettuccine with lemon pepper can be enjoyed as a delicious standalone dish with a glass of white wine, or as a side dish with chicken or fish.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Fill a large saucepan with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions. Drain, setting aside about 0.5 cups of water.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together the cream, egg yolk, and lemon zest. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream mixture and cheese to the skillet. Cook the shallots in the cream, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and 2-3 teaspoons of pepper.
- Add the pasta to the pan and stir, adding enough of the remaining water to thin the sauce. Divide the pasta among bowls and sprinkle with plenty of pecorino cheese. Serve with bread, if desired.
