    1

    Begin by boiling a pot of salted water and add the 200 grams of pasta. Cook according to package instructions for about 8-10 minutes until al dente.

    2

    While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    3

    Once the garlic is ready, carefully pour in 200 milliliters of cream. Stir well and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.

    4

    Add in 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese to the cream. Stir until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    5

    When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the creamy sauce. Toss everything together for about 2 minutes to ensure the pasta is well-coated.

    6

    Before serving, garnish with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped parsley for that fresh touch.
