Creating Sour Cream Pasta with Chives is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

3. Combine Ingredients: Lower the heat and add the sour cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed.

4. Incorporate the Pasta: Gradually add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.

5. Add Chives and Cheese: Mix in the chopped chives and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined, and the cheese has melted.

6. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, gradually add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

7. Season: Taste the dish and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll be enjoying a creamy serving of Sour Cream Pasta with Chives in no time!
