Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 100 grams cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 liters water

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the spaghetti.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes) until al dente.

Step 3

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the pan and stir in 100 grams of softened cream cheese. Cook for about 3 minutes until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 6

Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Continuously stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the cheese sauce. Toss well to coat the spaghetti evenly with the sauce.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat to allow the spaghetti to soak up the flavors.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy this cheesy delight with your favorite side dish or a simple salad.
