Description
A quick and comforting one-pot pasta dish where spaghetti simmers in broth, garlic, cream, and Parmesan to create a velvety sauce that clings to every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place your large pot over medium heat and drizzle in olive oil.
- Combine Ingredients: Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour in broth and bring to a simmer, then add spaghetti.
- Assemble the Dish: Stir often as pasta cooks, allowing starch to thicken the liquid.
- Cook to Perfection: Once pasta is al dente, stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Finishing Touches: Let sauce thicken for 2–3 minutes, then fold in parsley.
- Serve and Enjoy: Twirl onto plates, garnish with extra Parmesan, and serve warm.
Notes
- Always use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
- Stir frequently while cooking to prevent pasta from clumping.
- Reserve a splash of broth to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much.
