You know those nights when you just want something cozy but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen? Yeah, I had one of those recently. I was craving comfort food and decided to whip up a pasta bake, but of course, I almost burned it because I got distracted scrolling through TikTok. Who knew watching 15-second dance videos could be so time-consuming?
Anyway, I salvaged it just in time and ended up with this creamy garlic parmesan pasta bake that’s super easy and only takes a few ingredients. It’s basically a hug in a dish! You just mix everything together, throw it in the oven, and let it do its thing.
The best part? It’s gooey, cheesy, and just the right amount of garlicky goodness. Plus, it looks great when you pull it out of the oven—perfect for sharing on social media. I promise, if I can make it without burning it, so can you!
