Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the cream to warm through for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and smooths into the sauce.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and continue stirring until it is fully melted and the sauce achieves a thick, creamy consistency.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring every strand is coated in the garlic cheese sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
