Steps

1Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, reserving about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water.
2While the pasta cooks, melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat; if using, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
4Add the drained fettuccine directly to the skillet, then gradually incorporate the grated parmesan cheese, tossing continuously.
5Add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, emulsified sauce that generously coats the pasta.
6Season with salt to taste and serve immediately, optionally with extra parmesan.
