Instructions
Cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, melt the salted butter in a large frying pan, then add the finely chopped garlic and 25 twists of black pepper. Cook everything for 4-5 minutes until it turns a lovely light golden hue.
Stir the plain flour into the buttery garlic mixture to form a smooth paste. Whisk in the chicken stock until the sauce is silky smooth, then pour in the double cream and most of the grated Parmesan. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and everything comes together into a creamy, cheesy heaven.
Drain the cooked pasta and transfer it into the luscious sauce with a splash of the pasta cooking water. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in that glossy, irresistible sauce — it should be thick and shiny!
Dish out into bowls and sprinkle with the roughly chopped parsley and the remaining Parmesan. Enjoy the creamy garlic paradise!

Recipe Notes & Tips
- Pasta choice: Tagliatelle is ideal, but fettuccine, pappardelle, or even spaghetti work great too.
- Save that pasta water: The starchy water is liquid gold for making your sauce silky and helping it cling to the pasta.
- Make it vegetarian: Swap chicken stock for vegetable stock — tastes just as amazing!
- Fresh garlic is key: Don't use pre-minced garlic from a jar — fresh makes all the difference here.
