Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, combine 8 ounces of angel hair pasta, 2 tablespoons of butter, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cups of chicken broth, and 1 cup of milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  2. Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Gradually stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce.
  3. With the heat still low, add 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and optional onion powder. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and transfer pasta to serving bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
