Ingredients
- 250 grams pappardelle pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 80 grams Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the 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 pappardelle to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if using, for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve immediately in warm bowls, garnished with extra Parmesan, if desired.
