🍝 Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta

A rich and comforting dish that’s quick enough for a weeknight dinner but impressive enough for a dinner party.

🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins

🍳 Cook Time: 20 mins

🍽️ Servings: 4

Ingredients:

8 oz (225g) fettuccine or pasta of choice

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups (480ml) whole milk

1 cup (100g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the garlic roux:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.

3. Create the sauce base:

Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.

4. Add cheese and seasonings:

Let the sauce simmer gently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

5. Combine with pasta:

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water or milk.

6. Serve:

Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve warm!

💡 Tips:

Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or roasted veggies for a heartier meal.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melt.

This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated with a splash of milk.
