Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccini pasta
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Romano cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccini pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese and Romano cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked fettuccini into the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat all the pasta evenly.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
