Description
A delightful dish that combines garlic and creamy cheese with pasta in one pot for minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
- Add the pasta and pour in the milk, stirring to combine.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the milk reduces to a creamy sauce, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust creaminess by adding more or less milk. Add Italian herbs for extra flavor.
