In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Discard any seasoning packets from the instant ramen noodles.

Once boiling, add the instant ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but al dente.

Carefully drain the noodles, reserving 1 cup of the starchy cooking water. Set aside the drained noodles.

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Gradually add the reserved cup of noodle water, stirring continuously.

Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently with the sauce until evenly coated.

Cook for an additional minute over low heat, stirring gently. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
