Creamy Parmesan Pasta is an easy and quick dish known for its rich flavor and wonderfully smooth, creamy texture. It combines the robust taste of garlic and Parmesan cheese with a luscious creamy sauce. For an elegant touch, feel free to add shrimp or other seafood.
Ingredients
– Pasta: 1 pound– Olive Oil: 2 teaspoons
– Garlic: 4 cloves (minced)
– Butter: 2 tablespoons
– Chicken Broth: 3 cups (or as needed)
– Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon (ground)
– Salt: ¼ teaspoon
– Parmesan Cheese: 1 cup (grated)
– Heavy Cream: ¾ cup
– Dried Parsley: 1 ½ tablespoons
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in the butter and cook until melted.
- Pour in the chicken broth, then season with black pepper and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the pasta to the pot, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still has a firm bite.
- If the pasta needs more liquid while cooking, add a little more chicken broth to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and dried parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are combined and a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
- Serve the pasta hot. Garnish with additional cheese or parsley, if desired.
