🧄🍝 Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta Recipe

Servings: 2–3

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

200g (7 oz) spaghetti or your favorite pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: chopped parsley, chili flakes, grilled chicken or mushrooms

Instructions

Boil the Pasta:

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

Make the Sauce:

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t let it burn).

Add Cream & Cheese:

Pour in the heavy cream. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

Combine Pasta & Sauce:

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.

Season & Serve:

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley, chili flakes, or toppings of your choice. Serve warm.

Tips

For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or shrimp.

Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.

Use fettuccine or penne instead of spaghetti for variety.
