  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
  2. Stir in 1¼ cups of uncooked ditalini pasta, ensuring each piece is coated with the oil and garlic. Continue to stir for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Cook for about 8 minutes until al dente.
  4. Reduce heat to low, add ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with minced fresh parsley and serve immediately.
