Instructions 📜
- Cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently.
- Let the cream simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that Parmesan can be salty, so taste before adding too much salt.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing well to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan pasta hot, and enjoy your delicious and comforting dish!
PS: You can also add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the pasta to make it a complete meal.
