Ingredients

  • 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the mixture gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Toss the cooked gluten-free spaghetti into the Alfredo sauce, using tongs to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Alfredo spaghetti to serving plates or bowls.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
