Ingredients
- 1 lb Fettuccine pasta
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- nutmeg pinch; grated
- 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the fettuccine.
- In the same pot (no need to rinse), melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Gradually stir in the cheese until melted.
- Add the drained fettuccine to the sauce, tossing everything together with tongs until the cheese is melted and the pasta is well coated and warmed through. Gradually add the reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve your desired sauce consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits, so stir in more pasta water as needed. If the sauce becomes too thin, cook over low heat, tossing frequently, until thickened.
