Ingredients

Pasta & Sauce

  • 6 oz fettuccine
  • 10 cloves of garlic finely minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Extra parmesan
  • Chives
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Finely mince a bunch of garlic. Boil your fettuccini one minute before al dente and reserve some pasta water before draining.
  • In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cream, garlic, salt, and pepper, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Once simmering, add the parmesan and stir until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the cooked fettuccini and a splash of pasta water, tossing until the sauce clings to every strand.
  • Serve the pasta in a bowl and optionally garnish with more parmesan, black pepper, and chives.
