Ingredients

  • 1 lb egg fettuccine
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepepr to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining, just in case you need it to loosen your sauce*
  • Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring frequently until warmed through.
  • Incorporate the Cheese: Reduce heat to low and gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper and mix well
  • Combine Everything: Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce or keep it separate and add the sauce on top after you serve it
  • Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan. Serve immediately and enjoy!
