Creamy Garlic Pasta

[Dom]

Garlic power!

Ingredients:​

• 8 oz (225g) pasta (like fettuccine or penne)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Optional: red pepper flakes (for a bit of heat)

Instructions:​

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add Cream and Cheese:
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Serve:
   • Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and chopped parsley.
