Description
It’s a MIRACLE! My entire family LOVED this pasta and asked for seconds. Yours will too! All you need is one pot, 6 ingredients and about 30 minutes to create this magical One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound uncooked fettuccine or linguine
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole or reduced fat milk (low-fat or skim milk may curdle)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves*
- Juice of one lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Place an extra-large skillet or cast iron casserole dish on the stovetop over medium high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, then add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Spread the pasta in an even layer across the bottom of the pan. It’s okay if it doesn’t completely fit right way. Pour in chicken broth and milk; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer. Stir the pasta frequently to ensure even cooking and to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Continue cooking at a simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and lemon juice, if desired.
Notes
* Instead of parsley, try substituting other fresh herbs such as basil or tarragon if desired
** This recipe is delicious with the addition of a variety of steamed vegetables such as baby spinach, finely chopped broccoli or thawed frozen peas.
