Indulge in a creamy twist on classic pasta tonight—a surprising yet delicious dish that elevates your pasta game with buttermilk sauce!

1

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 8 to 10 minutes.

2

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Pour in the buttermilk and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for about 3 to 5 minutes.

4

Add the cheese into the sauce, stirring until it melts and combines smoothly with the buttermilk. This should take about 2 minutes.

5

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.

6

Combine the cooked pasta with the buttermilk sauce in the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired creaminess, usually 2 to 4 tablespoons.

7

Sprinkle black pepper and chopped parsley over the top before serving. Enjoy your delicious creamy buttermilk pasta!
