1-Getting started: with this creamy Parmesan spaghetti is as easy as it gets, with a total time of just 20 minutes from prep to plate. Begin by grating ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and letting it sit at room temperature for the best melt. This simple step ensures your sauce turns out smooth and creamy every time.

2-Next, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring to release its aroma. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and the optional seasonings, followed by 1 cup of milk, and bring everything to a boil for a flavorful base.

3-Once boiling, add the 8 oz of angel hair pasta, breaking it in half if it fits better or using tongs to twist it into the pan. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, then lower the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the pasta evenly.

4-Take the pan off the heat and gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and smooths out. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve right away for the best results. For more ideas on quick pasta dishes, check out our easy chicken spaghetti recipe for a fun variation.
