Step 1

Fill a large pot halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then add pasta and cook for the recommended amount of time on its packaging.

Step 2

While the pasta is boiling, in a medium saucepan or large saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter, and stir to ensure the garlic doesn't burn. Saute for one minute, you want the garlic to smell fragrant, then stir in the heavy cream.

Step 3

Let cream come to a simmer, not a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the cream.

Step 4

Add in the parmesan cheese and stir well, the sauce should be smooth. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, whisking occasionally to ensure the sauce is smooth and thickening.

Step 5

Season with the kosher salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve immediately, pouring over the prepared pasta and tossing in a serving bowl..
