Pasta

Optional Toppings

Method

Cooking Pasta

1

Boil Water

Fill a large pot with water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring it to a boil over high heat.

2

Cook Fettuccine

Once the water is boiling, add the fettuccine pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

3

Drain and Toss

Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Making the Sauce

4

Heat Cream

In a large skillet, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.

5

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.

6

Add Cheese and Season

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with black pepper and stir in the chopped basil.

Combining Ingredients

7

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

8

Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with optional red pepper flakes and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
