Delve into the creamy goodness of Pasta con Salsa de Queso Manchego tonight and elevate your dinner with a delightful blend of flavors!

1

Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the water for flavor.

2

Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

3

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

4

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

5

Lower the heat and pour in 200 milliliters of heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes.

6

Grate 150 grams of Manchego cheese and add it to the sauce. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

7

Season the cheese sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.

8

Once the pasta is done, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

9

Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.

10

If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Finally, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
