  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk

Cooking Instructions

  • Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the chicken broth and optional seasoning mix. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you do so. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the pasta noodles. You can break them in half for a better fit, or allow them to heat and use kitchen tongs to twist them into the skillet as they soften.
  • Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Reduce heat to low.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the warm pasta and toss to coat.
  • Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring as you do so, until smooth and well-combined. The sauce will be thin at first but will thicken nicely upon standing.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with Garlic Bread with Cheese.

Notes

Angel hair cooks very quickly. Make sure the liquid is boiling when the pasta is added. Always shred the cheese yourself for better taste.
