Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the gluten-free spaghetti. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the cheese sauce.
Divide the pasta among serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
