Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over very low heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook for about 5 minutes, until very fragrant. Remove the garlic.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package directions.
3. Add the heavy cream and broth to the butter and whisk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
4. Just before serving, take the sauce off the heat and whisk in the Parmesan until melted and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Toss with the cooked pasta. If needed, briefly reheat so the sauce bubbles and clings to the noodles. For a thinner sauce add a little more broth; for a thicker sauce cook it longer or whisk in 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water.
6. Serve immediately.
