👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Boil the fettuccine in salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Set aside a bit of the pasta cooking water before draining.
- 2 Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to let it burn.
- 3 Pour the cooking cream and milk into the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly so it doesn't separate, for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 4 Add the grated parmesan cheese a little at a time, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
- 5 Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- 6 Add the drained fettuccine into the sauce. Toss to combine, adding a little pasta cooking water if the sauce is too thick.
- 7 Cook briefly, stirring constantly, until the pasta is perfectly coated with the sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
- 8 Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra parmesan if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
💡 Tips
• Use low heat when cooking the cream sauce so it doesn't separate or curdle.
• Don't discard the pasta cooking water, as its starch content helps the sauce bind better with the pasta.
• Choose real parmesan cheese and grate it yourself for a smoother, richer sauce.
• Add grilled chicken pieces or shrimp if you want a heartier version.
