Ingredients

• 450 grams spaghetti
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the garlic cream sauce.

Step 7

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and added flavor.

Step 8

Allow the dish to cool completely before dividing it into freezer-safe containers for OAMC. Label and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Step 9

When reheating, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat gently on the stove with an extra splash of cream or reserved pasta water to restore the sauce’s creaminess.
