- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter

- to taste Salt

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside. Pro tip: Don’t overcook the noodles—they should have a slight bite.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; it cooks quickly. The aroma will fill your kitchen with warmth.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let it simmer gently without boiling. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese gradually. Watch as the sauce thickens into a velvety consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. The vibrant green adds a pop of color to the creamy dish.
