How to make delicious garlic pasta
Cook your favorite noodle pasta as normal.
Get the kids involved! My girls love to peel garlic. When children get involved they are more likely to eat better and try something new!
Heat a small pot on medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic to the heated pot. Allow garlic to simmer for a minute to get the full aromatic flavor.
Add in the butter and allow to partially melt.
Add in cream cheese and break up with a stirring spoon.
Stir milk into the mixture and bring to a boil.
While bringing to a boil, add in parsley and seasonings.
Once boiled, reduce heat to medium and add in the sour cream. Stir well and allow to begin to boil.
Remove from heat. Allow garlic pasta sauce to cool for a minute or two to thicken.
Pour over cooked pasta and serve immediately. Makes a perfect side dish for our Easy Oven-Baked Ribs too!
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over pasta, if desired.
