Introduction
A rich, creamy, and buttery classic Italian pasta dish made with fresh cream, melted butter, garlic, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese tossed with tender fettuccine noodles.
Step 1
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt to a large pot, fill with water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Grate 1 cup (113g) of Parmesan cheese, measure 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, and crush the garlic cloves using a garlic press.
Step 3
Once the water boils, add the fettuccine pasta. Stir immediately and occasionally with tongs to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Cook until al dente.
Step 4
In a large pan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the pressed garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until highly fragrant but not browned.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always use high-quality, freshly grated Parmesan cheese; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting smoothly.
Stir the pasta immediately after adding it to the boiling water to prevent it from sticking.
Make sure to reserve some pasta water before draining; the starchy water helps bind the sauce to the pasta and adjust the consistency if it gets too thick.
