Creamy Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti
Instructions
-
Cook the spaghetti:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
-
Make the garlic base:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn).
-
Prepare the creamy sauce:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it gently simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg (if using). Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
-
Season and combine:
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water, adding a little at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency.
-
Adjust the flavors:
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Garnish and serve:
- Transfer the spaghetti to serving plates. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
