Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

3. Make the Alfredo sauce
In the same pan, melt butter over low to medium heat. Add garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.

4. Add cream and cheese
Pour in heavy cream and warm gently. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Do not let the sauce boil.
