One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta
A 20-minute dinner wonder where pasta cooks directly in a garlic-infused milk and broth sauce, creating its own creamy texture without heavy cream.
Equipment
- Large skillet Must be deep enough for liquid
- tongs
Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti or linguine
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, milk, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the pasta to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently with tongs.
