Ingredients

• 400 grams fettuccine pasta
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions (typically 10-12 minutes) until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and integrate into the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta thoroughly in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious creamy fettuccine!
