👩‍🍳 How to Make Garlic Parmesan Pasta

✅ Step 1: Cook Pasta

Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.

✅ Step 2: Make Garlic Butter Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, not browned.

✅ Step 3: Add Milk & Cheese

Slowly pour in milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add cream cheese if using for extra thickness.

✅ Step 4: Combine Pasta & Sauce

Toss cooked pasta into the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

✅ Step 5: Serve

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes for a little heat.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve as a main dish with a green salad or garlic bread
  • Pair with grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables
  • Enjoy as a rich side alongside steak or salmon

🧊 Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store leftovers for up to 3 days
  • Reheat: Gently warm in a pan or microwave with a splash of milk
  • Note: Best enjoyed fresh, as cheese sauces can thicken when chilled

✅ Tips for the Best Garlic Parmesan Pasta

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest texture
  • Stir sauce constantly to avoid clumps
  • Add more garlic if you love bold flavor
  • Want it spicy? Add a pinch of chili flakes or cracked black pepper
