My easy garlic Parmesan angel hair pasta recipe is rich, buttery, and the ultimate dinner for any garlic lover! Sauteed garlic in a creamy Parmesan sauce coats delicate angel hair pasta and makes a rich comfort food your whole family will enjoy!
Bring a large, deep skillet or small stock pot to medium-high heat with the butter. Once the butter is melted add the garlic and saute until fragrant, stirring occasionally for about 1 minute.
2 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoon garlic
Stir in the chicken broth, milk, angel hair pasta, salt, and pepper until the pasta is softened and completely covered with liquid. Bring to a boil then reduce your heat to low and simmer.
1 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 cup milk, 8 oz angel hair pasta, ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper
Simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for approximately 4-6 minutes or until your pasta is cooked fully. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted.
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
Serve immediately garnished with fresh, chopped parsley if desired.
1 tablespoon parsley
Notes
If you LOVE garlic, you can use up to 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in this pasta dish.
To thin your sauce (if needed) simply drizzle some milk or broth into the pot of pasta until you reach your desired consistency.
Cooked pasta stores for up to 3-5 days in the refrigerator, but this tender pasta does not reheat well after a day or two in the fridge.
