Baked Garlic Parmesan Noodles 🧄🧀
A creamy, cheesy, oven-baked pasta dish that turns simple noodles into a rich, comforting meal with minimal effort.
If you like garlic bread and creamy pasta, this recipe sits right in the middle of both worlds. It’s buttery, aromatic, and baked until the top is slightly golden while the inside stays soft and saucy.
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 250–300 g pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne work best)
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4–5 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or cooking cream)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella (optional, for extra meltiness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
🔥 Step-by-Step Method
1. Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles until they are just al dente (slightly firm).
Do not overcook them because they will continue cooking in the oven later.
Drain and set aside.
2. Make the garlic butter base
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.
⚠️ Important: Don’t let the garlic burn—it should stay light golden, not brown, or it will taste bitter.
3. Create the creamy sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
Add salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning if using.
Then slowly add the Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously.
The sauce will thicken and become silky and rich.
