Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste, stirring it into the oil for about 30 seconds or until fragrant and bubbly.
  2. Stir in 1¼ cups of uncooked ditalini pasta, making sure to coat each piece with the oil and garlic mixture. Allow the pasta to toast for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth alongside ¼ teaspoon of salt, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Continue stirring frequently, ensuring the pasta doesn't stick to the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 8 minutes or until most of the broth has been absorbed.
  5. Lower the heat and gently mix in ½ cup of parmesan cheese, ¼ cup of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until everything is melted and creamy.
  6. Taste the mixture and season with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper as preferred. Garnish with minced fresh parsley before serving.
