Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 1 minute.
  2. Add the cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the Parmesan until smooth, adding a splash of pasta water if needed. Toss with drained pasta and serve immediately.

Notes

If the sauce seizes up after sitting, whisk in a little warm milk or pasta water while reheating gently on the stove. Avoid boiling once the cheese is in.
