Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti
4 cups water
1 cup whole milk
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large deep skillet or pot, combine the uncooked spaghetti, water, whole milk, minced garlic, unsalted butter, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and gently toss to combine.
Serve the garlic cheese pasta hot.
