Ingredients

• 12 oz linguini pasta
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted 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 pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently and let the mixture warm up, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the salt and ground black pepper to the sauce, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Add the cooked linguini to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta gently to coat it evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
