Description

A simple and delicious one-pot pasta dish with rich garlic and creamy cheese flavors, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or preferred type)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the pasta and pour in the milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook according to pasta package instructions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and milk is mostly absorbed.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Use whole milk for a creamier texture or low-fat milk for a lighter version. Add herbs like basil for extra flavor.
