Instructions
Warm butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add garlic and cook gently until fragrant, then add cream, parmesan and pepper, increase heat to medium and let simmer until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add wine or lemon juice and simmer 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to low and add pasta, seafood and parsley, tossing gently. Cook gently until heated through, tasting and adding a bit of salt if necessary. If it becomes to thick, add in a little pasta cooking liquid a bit at a time until the desired consistency.

Notes
Real Parmesan is key to making this foolproof with a restaurant quality depth of flavour. Serve with some homemade or artisanal bread, a simple salad with vinaigrette and chilled white wine such as a lightly oaked chardonnay or pinot gris or for a lighter wine, choose a sauvignon blanc which goes well with almost all seafood.
