Parmesan & Garlic Linguine

Bring a large pot of water up to boil. Sprinkle in a generous amount of salt and stir in pasta. Cook linguine until al dente and drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Place linguine back into the hot pot and stir in butter, cream, garlic, salt, pepper and cheese until butter and cheese start to melt and create a sauce. Pour in some pasta water to get the sauce to the consistency you want (I only used about 3 tablespoons). Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Pour onto a serving platter and top with fresh parsley and more grated cheese.

Recipe notes:
1. I used a microplane for grating the garlic and the parmesan cheese right into the pot. If you are using pre-grated store bought parmesan cheese, I’d recommend using about 1/2 cup.
2. This recipe only gives only a hint of garlic. Adjust the garlic level according to your preference!
