Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Remember to reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, or until fragrant.

  3. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic. Bring it to a simmer, then lower the heat.

  4. Add the Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the cream sauce. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  5. Season to Taste: Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Remember, the Parmesan cheese is salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.

  6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

  7. Serve and Garnish: Once the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce, transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
