Pasta and Sauce
Method
Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add Cream and Cheese
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained pasta to the sauce in the saucepan. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired sauce consistency.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
