instructions
    1

    Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the tagliatelle according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta is cooking, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    3

    Incorporate the turkey into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

    4

    Next, pour in the cream slowly and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 3-5 minutes.

    5

    Once the cream has thickened, add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

    6

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the tagliatelle and add it directly into the skillet with the turkey and Alfredo sauce.

    7

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

    8

    Finally, garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
