Steps

Cook Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). While the pasta cooks, grate the cheese and mince the garlic.

Garlic Sour Cream

In a pan, heat one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute), being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat, stir in the sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine & Serve

Drain the cooked pasta, but do not rinse it. Add the pasta to the pan with the garlic sour cream mixture, then stir in half of the grated cheese. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining grated cheese.

Extra Tips

► For an even creamier texture, add a splash of milk or heavy cream to the sour cream mixture.

► Sprinkle fresh parsley or chives on top before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese, for an added depth of taste.
