Ingredients

10 oz fettuccini pasta
0.5 cup unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp dried parsley

Directions

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

2

In the meantime, in a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent garlic from burning.

3

Combine a 1/4 cup of heavy cream with egg yolk in a small bowl; set aside.

4

Add the remaining cream to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high. Let cream bubble while whisking rapidly to avoid curdling. Add the cream and egg mixture gradually, continuing to whisk until well combined. Stir in 1 cup of Parmesan cheese followed by dried parsley until smooth.

5

Remove pan from heat. Serve sauce over drained pasta immediately.
