Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free fettuccine pasta
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (typically about 8-10 minutes).

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the fettuccine.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce in the skillet, tossing it gently to coat the pasta with the sauce. Use reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if necessary.

Step 9

Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes on low heat until the pasta is well coated and heated through.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
