Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter cut into large cubes or slices
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt not table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • fettuccine noodles or your favorite pasta

Instructions
 

  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, combine the butter and cream; whisk until the butter is melted.
  • Whisk in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Bring to a low simmer (do not boil) and continue to stir for 3-4 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and throw in the cooked fettuccine noodles (or your favorite pasta.)
  • Allow the sauce to rest for 2-3 minutes before mixing it with the spaghetti if it isn’t thick enough.

Notes

  • As was already established, fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano is crucial. This sauce will turn up gritty since the pre-shredded Parmesan won’t melt correctly.
  • You should whisk, but not stir, the ingredients. Keeping your sauce from separating by whisking it. The sauce requires neither a wooden spoon nor a spatula.
  • Do not allow the sauce to boil. The heat is kept at a moderate simmer for a short period of time. The sauce will split into chunks if the heat is too high, and it will boil over if it is allowed to reach that point. Really bad!
  • It’s preferable to serve this sauce as soon as possible after creating it, so if you’re planning on having it with pasta, schedule the cooking so that both are done at the same time.
