Description
A quick, creamy garlic butter bowtie pasta side dish made with Parmesan cheese and a homemade seasoning mix.
Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mix:
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- Pinch black pepper, optional
Pasta:
- 2 cups dry bowtie pasta
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring the water, milk, and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the dry pasta and seasoning mix.
- Simmer for about 11-13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, then let the pasta stand for 3–4 minutes before serving so the sauce can thicken.
Notes
- Salt: Fine sea salt was used when testing this recipe. If using coarse salt or a salted lemon pepper blend, start with less salt.
- Seasoning Mix: This recipe now makes just enough seasoning for one batch of pasta. If you previously made the larger seasoning mix, use 1 tablespoon of that mix for this recipe.
