• Start bringing a large pot of water to a boil. While you wait, make the sauce.

Make the Sauce

• To a large pan over medium heat, add the butter until it melts. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant without letting it develop any brown color - about 1-2 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream, Italian seasoning, Calabrian chile peppers, and black pepper. Once it simmers, turn the heat to medium low, stirring often, and cook for 5 minutes. While the sauce cooks, start your pasta.

Cook the Pasta

• Add some salt to the pasta water - it should taste like the sea, and cook the pasta until al dente. Right before the pasta is done, remove a cup of pasta water from the pot and set aside.

Finish the Sauce and Serve

• Remove the pan from the heat until it stops simmering. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese and put it back on the stove on low heat, whisking constantly for 1 minute until the sauce is smooth. Cook for 2 more minutes then taste and add salt if needed.
• When the pasta is done, drain, and transfer the cooked pasta to the sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to thin - a tablespoon at a time. Serve!
