Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cooking the Pasta

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.

2. Preparing the Sauce

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

3. Creating the Creamy Base

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Adding the Parmesan

Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

5. Seasoning the Sauce

Stir in the Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated.
