Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this comforting dish to life.

1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let it burn!
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Allow the cream to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce until each piece is well coated. Let it cook together for another 2 minutes, absorbing all those flavors.
6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and serve immediately.

Here’s a tip from my kitchen to yours: keep a little pasta water aside before draining. If the sauce feels too thick, a splash of that starchy water can work wonders in achieving the perfect consistency.
