Cooking Instructions:

Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently and allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss it in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.

Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

For extra tips when cooking this dish, always remember to adjust the garlic to your preference, as the amount can greatly influence the flavor.

If you want to add protein, grilled chicken or shrimp works wonderfully.

Additionally, feel free to incorporate seasonal vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes for added nutrition and color.

Enjoy your creamy garlic parmesan pasta!
