heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Boil water in a pan and add salt once boiling.

Add fettuccine to the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes until al dente.

Cut garlic in half and scrape the bottom of a pan to infuse flavor without leaving pieces.

Melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter in the pan over low heat.

Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the fettuccine.

Once the pasta is cooked, add it directly to the melted butter in the pan.

Turn off the heat and gradually add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stirring to combine with the butter and pasta.

Add a little reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce, stirring continuously until smooth.

Grate a little nutmeg into the dish for added flavor before serving.

Serve the pasta, ensuring to scoop from the bottom where the cream is concentrated, and top with fresh cracked black pepper.
