Method
Brown the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it turns golden and nutty, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.
Add the dry ditalini pasta and stir for about 1 minute to coat it in the butter.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until the pasta is fully tender; add a splash more broth if needed.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Lower the heat and mix in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan until the sauce is creamy and glossy.
Serve warm with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper.
