Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the mixture gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Toss the cooked gluten-free spaghetti into the Alfredo sauce, using tongs to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Alfredo spaghetti to serving plates or bowls.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
