Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fettuccine — Cook the pasta until al dente to ensure it has a slight bite and doesn't become mushy.
- Parmesan cheese — Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Soul food seasoning blend — If you can't find a pre-made blend, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

- For an extra soulful touch, you can add cooked and seasoned chicken or shrimp to the pasta.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some hot sauce or red pepper flakes over the finished dish.
- To make it even creamier, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the butter and cheese mixture.
- Don't forget to season the pasta water with salt before cooking the fettuccine to enhance its flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
