Ingredients
- 8 oz. angel hair pasta
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon each optional: oregano, onion powder, thyme, parsley, pepper
Instructions
- Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside to bring to room temperature.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, along with any optional seasonings. Gradually stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the angel hair pasta. You can break the noodles in half to fit the skillet, or use tongs to guide the noodles into the pan as they soften.
- Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Reduce the heat to low once the pasta is al dente.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.
- Gradually incorporate the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth. The sauce will thicken as it stands and the pasta absorbs more of the liquid.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, perhaps accompanied by Garlic Bread with Cheese for an extra indulgence.
