2. **Add seasonings.** Add in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; whisk until combined and smooth.

3. **Simmer.** Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.

4. **Add cheese.** Stir in the parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. **Serve.** Take off the heat and toss with cooked fettuccine noodles (or your favorite pasta.)

6. **Adjust consistency.** (If the sauce isn't quite thick enough, allow it to stand for 2-3 minutes before tossing with the pasta.)
