A comforting, creamy pasta dish that combines garlic and Parmesan for a rich flavor that’s quick to prepare.

Scale

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant—about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to come to a gentle simmer.
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is well-coated in the sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. This dish can be easily customized with vegetables or proteins.
