Linguine Alfredo

Creamy, dreamy linguine! This classic dish comes together in mere minutes. While the pasta boils, whip up a silky garlic, cream, and Parmesan sauce, then toss with the pasta until well coated.

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Add the heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Add ½ teaspoon of salt, the pepper, and Parmesan and stir until the cheese has melted.

4. 4

   Add the drained pasta and 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water to the alfredo sauce and use tongs to toss until well coated, about 1 minute. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat, top with parsley, and serve immediately.

6. 6

   Enjoy!
