Ingredients

• 1 pound high-quality pasta (like fettuccine or linguine)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Lower the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
5. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
