instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add 250 grams of fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pan, melt 30 grams of butter over medium heat.

    3

    Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

    4

    Pour in 100 milliliters of buffalo sauce and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

    5

    Next, add 100 milliliters of heavy cream to the sauce, stirring continuously to combine. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

    6

    Once the fettuccine is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

    7

    Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach the desired creaminess.

    8

    Incorporate 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese into the pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

    9

    Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
