Cooking Instructions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce.
If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
For extra tips, make sure to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture in your sauce.
You can also customize this dish by adding cooked shrimp, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables for additional nutrition and flavor.
Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving, as the saltiness of the cheese can vary.
Enjoy your creamy garlic pasta!
