This creamy garlic parmesan pasta may be the most simple and delicious recipes that I have ever shared.

Remember eating plain pasta with melted butter and maybe a little bit of parmesan cheese when we were kids?
This is a lot like that but better. The overall concept is basically the same but the flavor and texture of the sauce is just a little bit more elevated.

Its perfect because both the kids and adults in my house all love it so much. Myself included. Not to mention its super easy to make, too.
This recipe can be thrown together and on the table in less than 30 minutes. It's a great dinner for a busy weeknight.

Sometimes simple comfort food recipes like this just completely hit the spot. They do for my family and I at least.
It can also be served alone as a main course or as a smaller side dish to pretty much any main course that you can think of.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.
Fast. Simple. Delicious.
