Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 oz pepperoni slices
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, typically about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the pepperoni slices to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp around the edges.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Toss the cooked fettuccine into the skillet with the sauce, ensuring that the pasta is fully coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
