🥘 Ingredients
The full list of ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this article.
- Parmesan: The star ingredient of this recipe. Using freshly grated Parmesan guarantees a richer, more vibrant flavor in your dish, as pre-packaged, pre-grated Parmesan can have a blandering taste due to exposure to air and moisture. Also, fresh parmesan has a better texture for melting and blending smoothly into sauces, reducing the risk of clumping.
- Onion: We love this recipe with onion, but you can make it without.
- Beurre: You can also make half butter and half olive oil for the sauce. It works very well!
🔪 How to make the parmesan sauce
Full instructions for this recipe are in the recipe card below.
- Melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and onion. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the cream and heat over low to medium-low heat, avoiding boiling.
- Gradually add the grated parmesan while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
- When the parmesan cheese is incorporated, season with salt and pepper and continue stirring until you obtain a smooth and silky sauce.
👩🍳 Tips
- Sauce: When adding the Parmesan, keep the heat low to medium-low to prevent the sauce from forming lumps.
- Vegetables: Why not accompany this recipe with grilled vegetables such as peppers and eggplants, or a small pan-fried mushroom?
- Green salad: There's no denying that this dish is a little rich. A green salad will bring freshness and contrast to the dish.
- Wine: If you choose to accompany this delicious meal with a glass of wine, we suggest a dry white.

Description
Here's a recipe that worked very well on Instagram. There's no secret. This recipe for pasta with parmesan cream is simply a nugget. It can be made in no time at all, and has a comforting power that's off the charts. Just try it! You'll see.
Ingredients
Scale
8 oz - 225g pasta, we chose spaghetti
2 oz - 60g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup - 240 ml heavy cream
4 oz - 120g Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp - 1.5g salt
¼ tsp - 0.5g pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking 8 ounces of pasta in salted boiling water until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Remember to reserve some of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta. Set the cooked pasta aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 ounces of butter. Add finely chopped garlic and onion, and sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Introduce the Cream: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and gently heat it over low to medium-low heat, taking care not to bring it to a boil.
- Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Gradually add 4 ounces of finely grated Parmesan cheese while stirring constantly. This prevents clumping. Season the sauce with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Continue to stir until the sauce turns smooth and silky.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir until the pasta is thoroughly coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can use some of the reserved pasta cooking water to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve Hot: Your creamy pasta is ready to be enjoyed! You can garnish it with additional grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, or roasted pine nuts for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
Alternative: You can also make half butter and half olive oil for the sauce. It works very well!
