1

In a pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter; heat gently until the butter melts.

Add chopped garlic and stir briefly, cooking on low heat for a couple of minutes until golden.

Add cooking cream and a small pinch of salt; mix on low heat to prevent splitting.

5

In a large pot, boil water with a good pinch of salt for the pasta.

6

Add thin pasta of your choice (spaghetti, linguini, tagliatelli) and stir to prevent sticking.

7

Cook pasta for about 10 minutes until al dente.

8

Reserve a bit of the cooking water before draining the pasta.
