A delightful twist on a classic pasta dish, combining creamy garlic butter sauce with tender fettuccine and sweet peas.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Adding salt to the water enhances the pasta's flavor.
Cook the fettuccine in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions.
Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
Add the frozen peas to the pot during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
This ensures the peas are cooked but still retain their vibrant color.
Drain the pasta and peas, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Shake the colander gently to remove excess water.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and stir until combined, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference for a balanced flavor.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the pasta and peas, then toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Serve the dish immediately, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serving the dish hot enhances its creamy texture and flavor.
