Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter
1 pint heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb fettuccine, cooked

Instructions

1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
2
Pour in the heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
3
Whisk in the Parmesan a handful at a time until melted and smooth.
4
Season with salt and pepper, toss with hot fettuccine, and serve immediately.

ðŸ’¡ Pro tip

Grate the Parmesan yourself — pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that make the sauce grainy.
