Cooking Instructions
- Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and optional seasoning mix. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you do so. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta noodles. You can break them in half for a better fit, or allow them to heat and use kitchen tongs to twist them into the skillet as they soften.
- Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Reduce heat to low.

- Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring as you do so, until smooth and well-combined.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Make sure to avoid overcooking the angel hair pasta by checking package instructions. Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for best results. The sauce will thicken upon standing.
