Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fettuccine or Spaghetti
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • to taste Salt and Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mince the garlic cloves finely.

  2. 2

    In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Pour in the broth and add the dry pasta. Ensure the pasta is mostly submerged.

  4. 4

    Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

  5. 5

    Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
