Description
A heartwarming one-pot pasta dish that combines creamy garlic flavors, perfect for cozy fall evenings.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of pasta (fettuccine or penne recommended)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Begin by gathering your ingredients. Mince the garlic, measure out the broth, and shred the Parmesan cheese.
- Sauté the garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the pasta and broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, then add the pasta. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Cook the pasta: Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the pasta according to package instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Create the creamy sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Season and serve: Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
