Ingredients

12 oz fettuccine pasta

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Extra Parmesan for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Base: In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Cook the Pasta: Add the fettuccine to the skillet. Stir it into the broth, ensuring the noodles are submerged. Cook according to package instructions (about 10-12 minutes), stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has reduced.

Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce achieved a smooth consistency.

Season: Stir in salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water or broth to achieve your desired creaminess.

Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan on the side.
