Instructions

Cook the Ramen: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
Sauté the Garlic: While the noodles are cooking, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Make the Sauce: To the pan, add the reserved ramen cooking water, Parmesan cheese, and milk (or cream). Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Toss the Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pan and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Stir until everything is well combined.
Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve immediately

Notes

For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes, chili paste, or hot sauce to the dish.
For a vegan option, use dairy-free butter and vegan Parmesan.
Add protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or a fried egg to make the dish more filling.
Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
