Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt, then cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out at least 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta and set aside.
