Name: Creamy Garlic Gemelli Pasta
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 350 grams Gemelli pasta (¾ lb); 1 cup reserved pasta water; ¾ cup heavy cream; 2 tablespoons cream cheese; 3 cloves freshly minced garlic (or 2 if you prefer milder garlic flavor); 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese; salt and freshly cracked black pepper ( as needed)

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions.

2

Reserving 1 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and remove it from the pot.

3

Add the cream, cream cheese, garlic, and Parmesan to the pot. Cook the mixture and stir just until the cream cheese is melted. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add the pasta back into the pot with the sauce, and gradually add in the cup of the reserved pasta water until the sauce comes together to the desired consistency. It will continue to thicken, so don't toss the pasta water too soon! You might want to add more later on.

5

Season with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed after tasting.
