Pasta-machine linguine with garlic cream sauce


SO EXCITED about gorgeous new pasta machine we received for gift day that we immediately had to make linguine... but it can totally be made by hand as well (that's how we did it for three years). Recipe for awesome pasta dough is here.


Basic garlic cream sauce

1 stick butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup romano or parmesan
salt and (lots of) pepper to taste

Melt all of the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and toss in your garlic. Saute until fragrant but NOT AT ALL BROWN. Stir in the half and half and when it's hot, stir in the cheese. Season and adjust the proportions of everything. Enjoy with pasta and some leafy vegetables to help with all of those artery clogs.
