Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 3 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)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 quarts Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the gluten-free spaghetti from sticking.
Add the gluten-free spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (typically 8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. Stir constantly to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Season the cream sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly, adding small amounts of the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the pasta to serving plates. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free spaghetti with cream sauce!
