Ingredients:
8 ounces of pasta (like spaghetti)
2 tablespoons of butter
4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish).
Instructions:
Cook Pasta: Boil the pasta according to the package instructions until it’s cooked but still a bit firm. Drain it, but save about half a cup of the pasta water.
Make the Sauce: Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook it for about a minute until it smells nice.
Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add Parmesan: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely and the sauce becomes creamy.
Mix Pasta and Sauce: Put the cooked pasta into the pan with the sauce. Mix everything together until the pasta is coated evenly with the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little pasta water to thin it out.
Season and Serve: Taste the pasta and add salt and pepper as needed. If you like, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for extra flavor.
Enjoy: Serve your creamy garlic parmesan pasta hot and dig in!
