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 ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the creamy garlic pasta immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
For the best results, make sure to use freshly minced garlic to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Additionally, you can customize it by adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, or even some cooked chicken or shrimp for added protein.
Just remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Enjoy your creamy garlic pasta!
