Why Make This Recipe

Nothing is more comforting than a big creamy bowl of pasta.

This meal is simple with minimal ingredients, but has a decadent flavor and texture.

This Meal can be made Vegan. Just swap every thing with a dairy free version.

It’s customizable. You can add meats, veggies or use any pasta shape you’d prefer.

What you will need for this recipe:

• High quality milk & butter. I go for Horizon® Whole milk and butter. It is creamy, organic and has no hormones
• Minced garlic. I suggest roasting it first in the oven if you have time, however raw works just as well.
• Parsley. Dried works but I prefer fresh for this recipe
• Veggie broth or water. Veggie broth will give your creamy garlic sauce a lot more flavor.
• Lemon juice. A little squeeze goes a long way.

How To Make This Recipe

Step 1 Cook pasta according to package. In a saucepan melt the butter and garlic for about 2 minutes to brown the garlic. add the flour to the mix slowly, whisk briskly to keep clumps from forming. 

Step 2 Stirring the mixture consistently with a good whisk, slowly add the liquid ingredients (except lemon juice! Keep to the side until sauce is finished). Allow them to simmer while stirring until it thickens a little 

Step 3 Add in the cheese, whisk briskly until the cheese melts completely. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Turn off stove and serve over pasta. Garnish with parsley, avocado and parmesan. 

FAQs And Expert Tips

This Sauce is thick. If you prefer a thinner sauce similar to buttered pasta, you will need to add a little more broth or water to your sauce before serving.

Be sure to keep some extra chopped parsley to the side for garnish. The fresh green color really makes this dish pop.

Top your plate with a few slices of avocado. Something about the avocado pairs so well with the garlic parmesan cream sauce.

If you are looking for sides to serve with this pasta, I suggest roasted or steamed broccoli. You can also top this pasta with a protein like salmon, chicken or tofu.
