Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining, then set the cooked spaghetti aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine with the butter. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to melt the cheese into the sauce. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta gently with tongs to coat the spaghetti evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while the Alfredo pasta is warm and creamy. Enjoy!
