Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Read through the recipe and prepare all ingredients in advance. Cooking times and results may vary depending on pot size, pasta shape, and heat level. Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking, cook until the pasta is tender, and remove from heat before adding cheese to keep the sauce smooth and creamy.
  3. Melt butter in a pot and cook garlic for 1–2 minutes.
    Add pasta, milk, and water. Stir gently.
  4. Simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Turn off heat, mix in cheese and seasonings.
  6. Serve warm with parsley.
