Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, not browned.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Gradually whisk in parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth and creamy.

Season with salt, pepper, and optional Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes.

Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss until fully coated.

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.

Use fresh parmesan for best flavor and meltability.

Add sautéed mushrooms, grilled chicken, or spinach for a heartier version.

Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
