Instructions

1. Cook the pasta:
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Make the sauce:
   In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
