• 200g pasta (e.g., fettuccine or spaghetti) • 1 cup heavy cream • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese • 2 tbsp butter • 2 cloves garlic, minced • Salt and pepper to taste • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Garlic Bread:
• 1 baguette or Italian bread, sliced • 3 tbsp butter, melted • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced • Fresh parsley, chopped • Optional: shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. Make the Creamy Sauce: • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant. • Add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally. • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. 3. Prepare the Garlic Bread: • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). • Mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. • Brush the mixture over the sliced bread. For a cheesy garlic bread, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top. • Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. 4. Serve: • Plate the creamy pasta and garnish with fresh parsley. • Serve with the garlic bread on the side.
