Ingredients

12 oz. (340g) fettuccine or spaghetti
four cups (960ml) hen or vegetable broth
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1 cup (100g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
half of tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Base:
Heat a huge skillet or pot over medium warmness. Add some olive oil and melt a bit of butter. Once the butter is melted, upload the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 mins till fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Cook the Pasta:
Add the fettuccine or spaghetti to the pot and pour in the broth. Stir to ensure the pasta doesn’t stick together. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring now and again, until the pasta is al dente and maximum of the liquid has been absorbed.
Add Cream and Cheese:
Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Stir properly to mix the whole thing and create a creamy sauce. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta evenly.
Season to Taste:
Season the pasta with salt, black pepper, and oregano (if using). Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Serve:
Remove the pot from the heat and garnish with sparkling parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips for Success:
Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Make sure to stir occasionally and check the texture of the pasta to avoid overcooking.
Freshly Grated Parmesan: For the pleasant flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese in place of pre-grated.
