Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces gluten-free fettuccine or spaghetti
Fresh or dried parsley to garnish

Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large pot or skillet (I used this one)
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally
Add in the chicken broth and milk and stir
Bring to a boil then add in pasta noodles (break them in half if desired so they fit better)
Use kitchen tongs to twist them into the skillet as they soften
Let the pasta simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don’t stick together
Turn off heat then add in 1 tablespoon butter and mix well
Add in the parmesan cheese and mix all together (sauce may be thin at first but it thickens as the pasta continues to absorb it)
Serve with parsley on top if desired while warm

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or milk in microwave or pot so it thins out a bit
