Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mince the garlic and prepare the protein and vegetable by dicing or breaking into bite-sized pieces.

2

Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.

3

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Pour in tomato sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for 3 minutes, then reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream until fully incorporated.

5

Add the protein and vegetable to the sauce. Cook for 5–8 minutes until the protein is cooked through and the vegetable is tender.

6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water 1–2 tablespoons at a time.

7

Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Fold in half the grated Parmesan cheese.

8

Divide pasta among bowls or plates. Top with remaining Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
