Indulge in a creamy, dreamy Italian delight that turns a simple weeknight dinner into a restaurant experience!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes until al dente.

2

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.

4

Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest. Add the fettuccine directly to the sauce, tossing to coat fully. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

6

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving for color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy delight!
