Description
A comforting and creamy one-pot pasta dish that is easy to make and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- Pasta (any medium-width noodle like linguine or penne)
- Garlic, minced
- Milk (whole or 2% for creaminess)
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add pasta and enough water to cover it, stirring to prevent sticking.
- Bring to a boil and cook until pasta is al dente, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat, then add milk and Parmesan cheese, stirring until creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, spooning into bowls with optional additional toppings.
Notes
Use fresh Parmesan for a better melt and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat gently with milk to restore creaminess.
