1 Get a big pot of salted water going and cook 300g of tagliatelle according to the instructions on the packet, timing it so it's ready around the same time as your sauce.

2 While the pasta bubbles away, melt the 20g Kerrygold Salted Butter in your biggest frying pan over medium heat. Once it's foaming, tip in the 6 finely chopped garlic cloves along with 25 twists of black pepper. Let this sizzle for 4-5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the garlic turns a light golden color and smells wonderfully fragrant.

3 Sprinkle in the 2 tbsp plain flour and stir it into the garlic butter to form a thick paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to take the raw edge off the flour.

4 Slowly pour in the 150ml chicken stock, whisking the whole time so no lumps form, until the mixture turns into a smooth sauce.

5 Pour in the 200ml double cream and scatter in most of the 85g grated parmesan, saving a little for topping later. Stir everything together over the heat until the cheese has melted in and the sauce looks glossy, then taste and season as needed.

6 Once the pasta is cooked, lift it straight out of its pot and into the sauce, along with a generous splash of the starchy pasta cooking water. Toss well, adding a little more pasta water if the sauce needs loosening, until the pasta is coated in a thick, glossy sauce.

7 Spoon the pasta into four bowls and finish with a scattering of the chopped flat-leaf parsley and the reserved parmesan.
