Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Add ½ teaspoon of salt, the pepper, and Parmesan and stir until the cheese has melted.
  4. Add the drained pasta and 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water to the alfredo sauce and use tongs to toss until well coated, about 1 minute. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat, top with parsley, and serve immediately.
