Heat a pan until hot.

Pour in 2.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Add 2 large cloves of chopped garlic and brown slightly without burning.

Remove the pan from heat and add a dash of white wine to avoid flames.

Stir in 1.5 cups of heavy cream and blend with the garlic and olive oil.

Let the mixture cook down to evaporate the alcohol from the wine.

Add about 0.5 teaspoon of crushed red pepper and crushed black pepper to taste.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of Parmesan reggiano cheese and freshly chopped basil leaves.

Add 3 tablespoons of pasta water to the sauce.

Boil fettuccine in salted water for about 7 minutes until al dente, then drain.

Turn off the heat on the pasta pot and add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce.

Reduce the heat and let the pasta cook in the sauce for a couple of minutes to absorb flavors.

Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Plate the fettuccine alfredo and garnish with remaining fresh chopped basil.
