Samin Nosrat's Fettuccine Alfredo

For the pasta:

2 cups "00" flour, plus more for dusting
2 large eggs
2 egg yolks, plus more if needed

For the sauce:

4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces parmesan hunk
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, to taste

To make the pasta:

1. Mound the flour on your countertop or in a large, wide mixing bowl. Dig a well into the center of the mound and add the eggs and yolks.
2. Using a fork, beat together the eggs, and carefully, gradually begin incorporating the flour. It will come together in a shaggy mess once half the flour is incorporated.
3. Use your fingers to mix the dough; if you need it, add another egg yolk, a tablespoon of water, or some egg white to help bring it all together. Once it comes together in a ball of dough, like playdough, remove it from the bowl and knead for 4 to 5 more minutes, until it's smooth and uniform.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for at least 5 to 10 minutes if you're using "00" flour, or 30 minutes, up to 4 hours at room temperature if you're using all-purpose flour.
5. After resting, prepare to roll out your dough. Using a rolling pin, or a carefully wielded bottle of wine, roll it out into an inch-thick or so, then fold into thirds and repeat. This is an "extended kneading" process. Then set aside and let rest under a damp towel for another 10 minutes or so.
6. For the final rolling, treat the dough like pie crust and roll outwards from the center, and turning a quarter ever so often in order to get the dough as thin and even as possible.
7. Once you're almost at your desired thickness, cut the pasta dough to fit your rolling pin. Then, heavily flour the dough, wrap it around the rolling pin or wine bottle, and press down and outwards in order to further stretch the dough. Once the pasta sheet is thin enough to see the outline of your hand through it, it should be ready to go.
8. Flour the pasta sheet and roll it carefully into itself. Cut into noodles about 3/8-inch thick, shake off the excess flour, and set aside under a damp towel.

To make the sauce:

1. If you're using a microwave, pour 4 cups of cream into a wide shallow bowl. Microwave in one-minute increments or so, stopping every so often to stir the cream and let the steam escape. Your cream should reduce to about 2 cups. (If you're using a stove, pour the cream into a medium-sized pot and simmer, stirring ever so often, until reduced to 2 cups. This should take about 30 minutes.)
2. Grate your parmesan using a vegetable peeler or grater.
3. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add your minced garlic. Cook gently over low heat un
