Description
A comforting, velvety pasta dish made in just one pot, featuring tender noodles coated in a creamy garlic sauce with Parmesan and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Add pasta directly into the pot, stirring to coat with broth.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid is mostly absorbed (about 10–12 minutes).
- Stir in cream, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until creamy. Adjust thickness with a splash of broth if needed.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Stir often to prevent pasta from clumping.
- Add cream at the end to avoid curdling.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
- Reheat with a splash of broth or cream to revive the sauce.
