Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Spaghettini
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghettini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Lower the heat slightly and carefully pour in the whiskey. Allow it to simmer for 1–2 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked spaghettini to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it and help it cling to the pasta.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Transfer the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and extra Parmesan cheese on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, whiskey-infused delight!
