• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan. Mix well.

Step 6

Pour the cream and garlic mixture over the pasta and cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with lightly golden edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
