Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- 2
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
- 3
Make the Cream Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream to the skillet with garlic. Stir and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- 4
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- 5
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
