Creamy Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients:

- 1 pound fettuccine

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method:

1. **Cook the Pasta**: Prepare the fettuccine according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Alfredo Sauce**: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic. Incorporate the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

3. **Incorporate the Cheese**: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until it is fully melted and the sauce achieves a smooth consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

4. **Combine with Pasta**: Introduce the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss thoroughly until the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce appears too thick, add a small amount of pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

5. **Serve**: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
