Garlic Parmesan Pasta (One Pot!)
This creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta is easy to make at home in one pot!
Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 Tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz. angel hair pasta
- Fresh Parsley, to garnish
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder optional
- ¼ teaspoon oregano optional
- ¼ teaspoon thyme optional
- ¼ teaspoon parsley optional
- ¼ teaspoon pepper optional
Instructions
- Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and optional seasoning mix. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you do so. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta noodles. You can break them in half for a better fit, or allow them to heat and use kitchen tongs to twist them into the skillet as they soften.
- Let the pasta simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick together. Reduce heat to low.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the warm pasta and toss to coat.
- Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring as you do so, until smooth and well-combined.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Make sure the liquid is boiling when the pasta is added for the right consistency. Purchase a block of high-quality Parmesan cheese and always shred the cheese yourself for better taste.
