Add 2-3 teaspoons of salt to a large pot.

Fill the pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Cover the pot while waiting for the water to boil.

Measure out 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and set aside.

Grate 1 cup (113 grams) of Parmesan cheese.

Press 7 garlic cloves using a garlic press.

Add 1 pound of fettuccine to the boiling water and stir to prevent sticking.

In a large pan, add 1/2 cup (113 grams) of unsalted butter over medium heat and let it melt.

Add the pressed garlic to the melted butter and stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Pour in the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and cook for about a minute until warm and bubbly.

Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined.

Save at least a quarter cup of the pasta water before draining the fettuccine.
