Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

For the Pasta

  • 8 oz pasta choose your favorite shape, like penne or fettuccine

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream creates a luscious, velvety texture
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese opt for sharp cheddar for bold flavor
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese elevates the sauce to gourmet standards
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced infuses the dish with aroma
  • 2 tbsp butter adds richness
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

Directions

  • Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions—typically around 8-10 minutes—until al dente.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and quickly bring it to a gentle simmer.
  • Once the cream is simmering, add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheeses.
  • Taste your sauce and season it with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the drained pasta into the sauce, ensuring every noodle is coated.
  • Serve your creamy cheese pasta hot, garnished if desired.

Notes

For best texture, ensure pasta is cooked al dente. Avoid letting garlic brown, and adjust seasoning before serving.
