Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cook the fettuccine according to instructions: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt to taste. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. |
| 2 | Prepare the garlic and butter sauce: While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Then, add the dried parsley and continue sautéing for an additional 4 minutes until the garlic is golden and aromatic. |
| 3 | Simmer the cream: Slowly pour the cream into the skillet with the garlic and butter mixture. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. |
| 4 | Drain and return the noodles: Once the fettuccine is cooked to perfection, drain it well and return it to the pot. |
| 5 | Combine the sauce and noodles: Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the cooked fettuccine in the pot. Add the freshly grated cheese to the pot as well. Gently toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the creamy sauce and the cheese is melted. |
