Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions. Drain, and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Once the butter is nearly melted, gradually mix in the heavy cream.

Stir in the minced garlic, letting it infuse the sauce for a minute.

Slowly add the shredded Parmesan cheese, whisking consistently until melted. The sauce should become creamy and smooth.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: For an even heartier meal, serve with grilled chicken or veggies alongside.
