Instructions
-
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.
-
Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
-
If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to thin it out. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat each strand.
-
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and optionally extra Parmesan cheese.
