Notes
Top Tips
Remove any burnt garlic from your skillet before you start with your sauce mixture. When deglazing your pan, place the lid on your skillet, if your heat is on medium-high to avoid hot liquid bursting out of the pan. Then use low heat to finish deglazing your pan with white wine. Break up your bouillon cube so it dissolves faster. Once you've added your heavy cream and parmesan cheese, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Don't cook your pasta all the way through, you'll al dente pasta to add to your parmesan garlic sauce.Good to Know
If your sauce isn't thick enough, make a slurry of 1 tbsp of cornstarch to 2 tbsp of water and add it to your cream sauce at the very end. Alternatively, if your sauce is to thick, add reserved pasta water to thin it out.Nutrition
