Ingrédients
  

For the Pasta
  • 340 g Spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp Salt for pasta water
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Pasta water reserved
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Skillet
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not let it brown.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, reserved pasta water, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
