Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Add Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Incorporate Cheese
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
