Ingredients
– Β½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 tablespoons butter, divided
– 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup milk
– 8 ounces angel hair pasta
– Fresh parsley for garnish
– ΒΌ teaspoon each of onion powder, oregano, thyme, parsley, and pepper
Instructions
1-Getting started with Creamy Parmesan Spaghetti: Begin by grating the Parmesan cheese and letting it reach room temperature for easier melting. Next, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat to build a flavorful base.
2-Add the minced garlic: and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to release its aroma without burning. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth along with the optional seasonings, then slowly stir in 1 cup of milk and bring the mixture to a boil for even cooking.
3-Once boiling: add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta, twisting it into the liquid as it softens to ensure it cooks uniformly. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, and then lower the heat to keep things gentle.
4-Finishing Touches: Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the pasta nicely, creating that silky finish. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to perfection. Turn off the heat before adding the cheese to prevent any graininess, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve right away.
