Indulge in this creamy, comforting pasta that’s quick to prepare and bursting with flavor – perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it's boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cream cheese and milk. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.

3

Add the minced garlic to the sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it directly to the cream cheese sauce. Mix well, adding a little reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

5

Finish by stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

6

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
