Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz of fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 6 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp of butter
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley

  • Instructions

  • Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté it gently until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce. Ensure each strand of pasta is coated evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Finish by stirring in the chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
