Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic clove
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cream is warmed through.
Slowly add the grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses to the skillet, stirring constantly until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the cheese sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta, gently tossing to combine.
Divide the cheesy linguine between two plates. Serve hot and enjoy your cheesy, decadent meal!
