Ingredients
- 1 cup small shell pasta or any short pasta
- 2 ½ cups salted chicken stock
- 6 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce divided
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce for finishing
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp oinion powder

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the dry pasta directly to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic butter.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for about 5–6 minutes.
- Uncover, stir, then cover again and continue cooking until the pasta is just al dente and most of the liquid has reduced, leaving a little sauce in the pan.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, ½ tablespoon soy sauce, white pepper, onion powder and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese. Toss until the noodles are glossy and fully coated.
- Plate the noodles, top with more Parmesan, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
