Cooking Ingredients

  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 cups small pasta
  • 1.5-2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat a pan on medium/low heat and add the olive oil. Then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook this for 1-2 minutes, careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Next add the small pasta to the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Keep simmering the pasta until it absorbs almost all the broth (about 10-15 minutes). Stir every couple of minutes to ensure the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • When the pasta is almost cooked and most of the chicken broth is absorbed, add the heavy cream. Mix well and return to a simmer, continue cooking until pasta reaches al dente consistency. Add splashes of chicken broth as needed.
  • Then add the butter, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and top with some parsley if desired.
