Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Stir and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to slightly thicken.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, until it's fully melted and integrated into the sauce. Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from separating.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked and drained fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the Alfredo sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with garlic bread or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
