How to Make Garlic Parmesan Pasta
- Boil the pasta: Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Remember to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining for later!
- Sauté the garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until it becomes fragrant.
- Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 3 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Combine pasta with sauce: Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the sauce. Mix it well and use the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired creamy consistency.
- Incorporate parmesan: Sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese over the pasta, stirring until it melts and blends seamlessly into the dish.
- Serve and garnish: Dish out your Garlic Parmesan Pasta onto plates and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
