# Ingredients:
→ Pasta
01 -
225g fettuccine pasta
→ Sauce
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
180ml heavy cream
05 -
113g Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese
06 -
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Garnish
07 -
fresh Italian parsley, chopped (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving approximately 240ml of pasta water for possible sauce adjustment.
02 -
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
03 -
Pour heavy cream into the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened - the sauce should leave a visible trail when a spoon is drawn through it.
04 -
Reduce heat to low. Add Boursin cheese and stir continuously until completely melted and incorporated into the sauce. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
05 -
Add drained pasta to the sauce, tossing thoroughly to coat. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with chicken or vegetable broth
