  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the heavy cream, bring it to a gentle simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
  2. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss until well coated, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra rich sauce, use a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese. You can also add grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal.
