Method
Preparation Steps
Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Combine Ingredients
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the Pasta
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
