Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta of choice
  • 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

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Add pasta and milk to the pot, bringing it to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the pasta until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

This dish is best served warm with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top. Pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, adding a splash of milk when reheating.
