1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.

4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy butter garlic sauce.

7. Cook the pasta in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

9. Serve the creamy butter garlic pasta hot, topped with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
