Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

  • pasta
  • cream
  • cheese (grated)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic (minced)

How to make it

  1. Boil water in a pot.

    Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil, which will be used to cook the pasta.

  2. Add pasta to boiling water.

    Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes.

  3. Drain the pasta.

    After the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and set aside.

  4. In a pan, heat cream.

    In a separate pan, pour in the cream and heat it over medium-low heat until warm.

  5. Add garlic to the cream.

    Add the minced garlic to the warm cream and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  6. Stir in cheese until melted.

    Add the grated cheese to the cream and stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

  7. Combine pasta and sauce.

    Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce and mix well to coat the pasta evenly.

  8. Season with salt and pepper.

    Finally, season the cheesy pasta with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well.
