Recipe: Creamy Garlic Pasta
This creamy garlic pasta is a delightful dish that’s easy to whip up on a busy weeknight yet elegant enough for a special occasion. With a rich, creamy sauce and a kick of garlic, it’s pure indulgence on a plate!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine works best)
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Be sure to add a pinch of salt to the water for flavor. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, stirring until it melts and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, making sure all the noodles are coated evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
This creamy garlic pasta pairs beautifully with a side salad and some crusty bread for sopping up the sauce. It’s an irresistible dish that’s sure to impress anyone who tries it. Enjoy every bite!
