Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta

 

Ingredients:

• 8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine with the garlic-infused butter. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

4. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.

5. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep in mind that the Parmesan adds saltiness, so adjust accordingly.

6. Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness, add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.

7. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

8. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the creamy garlic Parmesan pasta with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.

9. Serve immediately, offering additional Parmesan at the table for those who want an extra sprinkle of cheesy goodness.

10. Enjoy this indulgent and flavorful creamy garlic Parmesan pasta as a comforting meal on its own or paired with a side salad and crusty bread.
