Fettuccine: According to package instructions, cook the fettuccine minus 2 minutes.

You must have all the ingredients ready to assemble before cooking the fettuccine.  The pasta will continue to cook, after the meal is assembled, in the frying pan.  By having all ingredients ready to go you will avoid the pasta to cool off and damage your meal.

Which dry pasta to buy: Store brand pastas (the cheap ones) and the main brand pastas (which cost up to double the price) have mainly one difference.  The forgiveness when you overcook the pasta.  For this recipe buy the good main brand fettuccine.
