Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta

1Cook the pasta (8 oz) according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2In a large skillet, melt the butter (2 tbsp) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (4 cloves) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3Pour in the heavy cream (1 cup) and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

4Add the grated Parmesan cheese (1 cup) and black pepper (½ tsp) to the cream sauce. Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5Toss the cooked pasta (8 oz) into the creamy garlic (4 cloves) Parmesan sauce, ensuring it is well coated. Cook for an additional minute to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together.

6Serve the creamy garlic (4 cloves) Parmesan pasta (8 oz) hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
