🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 8 oz (225 g) pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine works best)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best flavor)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🔍 History of the Dish

Creamy garlic-based pasta dishes originated in Italian cuisine, particularly as a twist on the classic Alfredo sauce. The addition of Parmesan and garlic became popular in home kitchens because it balances richness with a subtle nutty taste. This dish evolved as a quick luxury meal during the mid-20th century when convenience foods and elegant dining merged.

🛠 Methods of Preparation

There are two main ways:

  1. Classic Method: Cook pasta, prepare sauce in a separate pan, then combine.
  2. One-Pot Method: Cook pasta directly in a creamy broth, allowing starch to thicken the sauce naturally.

We’ll use the classic method for the perfect creamy texture.

🥄 Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant (do not brown).
  3. Add Cream & Cheese: Pour in heavy cream and stir. Add Parmesan and whisk until smooth and creamy. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
  4. Combine: Toss cooked pasta in the sauce until coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

🏗 Formation (Plating & Presentation)

  • Use a twirl technique with a fork and ladle to create elegant pasta nests on each plate.
  • Drizzle extra cream sauce over the top.
  • Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and a few parsley leaves for a restaurant-quality finish.
