1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 ounces of fettuccine and cook it for about 10-12 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally.

2

While the fettuccine is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

3

Add minced garlic (2 cloves), and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

5

Pour in 1 cup of cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

6

Grate 1 cup of Parmesan cheese and add it gradually to the sauce, stirring until melted and creamy.

7

Once the fettuccine is cooked, drain it and add it directly into the skillet with the cheese sauce. Toss to coat thoroughly.

8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on low heat.

9

Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
