Decadent Creamy White Pasta Sauce with Garlic

Ingredients

12 oz linguine pasta
2 cups heavy cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to brown it.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow the cream to reduce slightly for about 4-5 minutes.
Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
