Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta (any kind you love)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the garlic: In a large pot or skillet over medium heat, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Allow the garlic to sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the pasta: Next, add your pasta to the pot along with 4 cups of water (or enough to cover the pasta). Bring it to a gentle boil.
- Make it creamy: Once the pasta is al dente, lower the heat and pour in the milk. Stir well to combine everything and allow it to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cheese please: Gradually add Parmesan cheese while stirring, allowing it to melt into the sauce, creating a velvety texture.
- Season and garnish: Once the cheese has melted, taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve hot: Remove the pot from the heat, and serve immediately.
Notes
Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a brighter flavor and serve with a crisp salad and warm bread for a complete meal.
