Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 14 oz canned or jarred artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the cream to warm through, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin it to the desired consistency.

Step 5

Stir in the artichoke hearts, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the artichokes are evenly coated in the sauce, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and gently toss it with the sauce until fully combined and coated.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
