Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the spaghetti in well-salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat and cook the minced garlic until fragrant and just golden, 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Off the heat, whisk in the parmesan until smooth, then toss in the pasta, adding splashes of pasta water until the sauce coats every strand.

  5. 5

    Season with the salt and pepper, shower with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
