Ingredients
50 g Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Garlic (finely chopped)
1 cup Fresh Cream
100 g Grated Cheese
as needed Water
2 tsp Salt
to taste Black Pepper (roughly crushed)
For garnishing Parsley
300 g Fettuccine Pasta
Instructions
Step 1— Prepare the Pasta
1
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
2
Add salt to the boiling water.
3
Gently add the fettuccine and cook until it is about 90% done (slightly firmer than al dente).
4
Drain the pasta, making sure to reserve some of the starchy cooking water for the sauce later.
Step 2— Prepare the Sauce
1
In a wide pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
2
Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown or burn.
3
Lower the heat and stir in the fresh cream, mixing gently to combine with the butter and garlic.
Step 3— Emulsify and Season
1
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the pan and stir until it begins to melt.
2
If the sauce is too thick, pour in a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
3
Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and fresh crushed black pepper to taste.
Step 4— Combine and Serve
1
Add the cooked fettuccine into the pan with the sauce.
2
Toss gently until every strand of pasta is evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
3
Finish by garnishing with extra grated Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
