Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine noodles (or your choice of pasta)
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 0.25 cup pasta cooking water
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped rosemary and minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the rest of the water.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the rosemary butter mixture. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 6

Stir in the reserved pasta cooking water to help create a silky sauce that clings to the noodles.

Step 7

Add the salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss again until everything is well combined and the cheese has melted into the sauce.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the noodles to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
