Ingredients

12 ounces fettuccine

5 tablespoons unsalted Challenge butter

2 cloves garlic minced

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish if desired

pinch ground nutmeg see notes

½ teaspoon salt or to taste

½ teaspoon black pepper

chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook al dente (slightly firm). Reserve ½ cup pasta water. Drain pasta (do not rinse) and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the cream mixture from the heat and whisk in parmesan cheese and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth. Season with salt & pepper.

Step 5

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss with the sauce. If needed, add additional pasta water to adjust the consistency.

Step 6

Garnish with parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired.
