Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup olive oil to the skillet and melt together.

Add 4 cloves of diced garlic to the skillet and stir for 20-30 seconds, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Add fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste, and stir to combine.

Pour in heavy cream and mix it with the butter and oil, allowing the heat to come back up.

Start adding parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until it melts smoothly into the sauce.

Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more cream and cheese as desired, stirring until smooth.

Boil salted water in a separate pot and add 12 oz of fettuccine noodles, cooking until al dente.

Drain the noodles using a colander, reserving some pasta water if needed.

Combine the drained noodles with the sauce in the skillet, mixing well to coat the noodles.

Sprinkle fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese on top before serving.
