Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup butter (cut into large cubes or slices)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 clove garlic (minced)
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
fettuccine noodles or your favorite pasta

Instructions

Step: In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, combine the butter and cream; whisk until the butter is melted.
Step: Whisk in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step: Bring to a low simmer (do not boil) and continue to stir for 3-4 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
Step: Stir in the parmesan cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step: Remove from the heat and throw in the cooked fettuccine noodles (or your favorite pasta.)
Step: Allow the sauce to rest for 2-3 minutes before mixing it with the spaghetti if it isn’t thick enough.

Notes

Fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano is crucial for a smooth texture. Whisk constantly to prevent separation and do not allow the sauce to boil to avoid curdling. Serve immediately for best consistency.
