One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta
This One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta is rich, comforting, and incredibly easy to make. Everything cooks in one pot — no need to drain — for a perfectly silky garlic cream sauce that clings to every strand of pasta.
Equipment
- Large skillet or pot
- Wooden Spoon
Ingrédients
- 2 tbsp Butter unsalted
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 200 g Uncooked spaghetti
- 2 cups Vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated plus extra for serving
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Add the uncooked spaghetti and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender.
- Pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan. Stir continuously until the sauce becomes thick and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or stir in cooked chicken, mushrooms, or spinach. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of cream or milk to restore the texture.
