Ingredients
- 12 oz shell pasta cooked al dente
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup chicken broth Side Note: Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
- 1 cup milk whole
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese fresh, finely grated
- nutmeg fresh, grated, pinch
- salt sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water to al dente, per package instructions. Drain the pasta reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Side Note: Don't overcook the pasta because it will cook a bit more in the sauce.
- Make the creamy garlic parmesan sauce while the pasta is cooking by heating the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic to the melted butter and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the parmesan cheese while whisking. Add the nutmeg then simmer while stirring occasionally for a few minutes while the pasta finishes cooking.
- Add the drained pasta to the creamy garlic parmesan sauce along with a bit of reserved cooking water, if needed, and toss to coat evenly.
- Remove from the heat and allow to sit for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to mingle and the sauce to thicken. Taste the sauce and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately with fresh parmesan on the side. Enjoy.
