    Chef's Notes and Tips

    Here are some helpful tips to enhance your Garlic Parmesan Pasta experience:
    • Sauce Flexibility: Prepare the garlic parmesan sauce in advance for convenience. It blends perfectly with any pasta variety.
    • Protein Options: Elevate the basic recipe by adding proteins like chicken, shrimp, or a selection of vegetables for added nutrition and flavor.
    • Broth Choices: While chicken broth is traditional, vegetable broth is a great alternative for a different yet delicious taste.
    • Dairy-Free Alternative: For a lactose-free version, use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
    • Oven-Baked Variation: Create an oven-baked version by combining uncooked pasta, garlic, butter, broth, milk, and herbs in a baking dish. Bake at 360°F for 30-35 minutes, then stir in cheese and parsley.
    • Pasta Salad Idea: Transform leftovers into a refreshing Garlic Parmesan Pasta Salad. Just add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, bell peppers, onions, and shredded chicken, and enjoy it cold.
