Servings: 3 Servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta linguini recommended
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to the directions on the package until it reaches your desired tenderness.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
- Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously to prevent any scorching. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, adjusting to your preference.
- Take the skillet off the heat and carefully mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring each strand is well coated as the sauce thickens. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor, and serve immediately.
