This One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta is a creamy, comforting dish made with simple ingredients and minimal cleanup. The pasta is cooked directly in a flavorful blend of garlic-infused butter, chicken broth, and milk, then finished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for a rich, delicious meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz fettuccine
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: Heat unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add Liquids and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and milk, then add the fettuccine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cook Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking, cooking until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 18-20 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot.
  6. Enjoy: Enjoy this creamy, flavorful pasta as a satisfying main dish that's quick and easy to prepare.

Notes

  • You can substitute fettuccine with any other pasta shape like linguine or spaghetti.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Adjust garlic quantity according to your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice subtle heat.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese works best for melting and flavor.
