This creamy garlic Parmesan pasta boasts rich flavor and velvety texture, making it an ideal choice for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fettuccine or spaghetti
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously until it begins to simmer gently.
  4. Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. If it seems too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, ensuring it stays warm until enjoyed.
