Easy PastaCreamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta

Ingredients:

• 8 oz (about 225g) pasta (such as fettuccine or linguine)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
   • Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

2. Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

   • In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

3. Add Cheese and Seasoning:

   • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the Parmesan is salty, so start with a little salt and adjust as needed.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:

   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

5. Serve:

   • Once the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce, remove the skillet from heat.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
   • Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan pasta immediately while it's still warm.
