Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz Fettuccine pasta Cook according to package instructions.
Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Should be melted without browning.
  • 1 cup Heavy cream For a rich and smooth sauce.
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced Sauté until fragrant.
  • 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Use high-quality for best flavor.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste Seasoning.
  • Chopped parsley (optional for garnish) Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely but don’t let it brown.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously, and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until bubbling at the edges.
  4. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese, cooking until melted and the sauce is smooth, roughly 2 more minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
Combining and Serving
  1. Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with the sauce until it’s well coated.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For best presentation, twist the pasta into a nest shape and serve with a salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
