Creamy Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Step 4: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Step 5: Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the creamy garlic sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
