1 lb pasta
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
3 cloves of garlic , crushed
1 cup pesto
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1
Sauté the garlic:
Heat olive oil (and butter, if using) in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted and warm, add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden—about 1 minute.
2
Make the sauce:
Stir in the pesto and cream. Mix until fully combined. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
3
Cook the pasta:
While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain.
4
Combine:
Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce along with freshly grated Parmesan. Toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Serve warm with extra Parmesan on top.
