Description
Creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor, these Parmesan Buttered Noodles are a simple yet delicious dish, perfect for a quick dinner or side.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups dried ditalini pasta (or any small pasta)
- 3 cups chicken stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sauté the Garlic: Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook the Pasta: Add dried pasta and chicken stock to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a low boil and cook for 9-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Cream: Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until fully combined.
- Finish the Dish: Add butter, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the butter melts and the cheese is incorporated. Let it simmer on low for 3-5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and absorb into the pasta.
- Adjust and Serve: Taste the noodles and add more salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
