I am always searching for easy, quick dinner options for weeknight meals. Preferably ones that I can make while talking to my children after a long day of school (i.e. not too complicated). I was browsing on Pinterest and found this One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta, which was also nicknamed “Crack Pasta”. I tried it earlier in the week and it got rave reviews from my three very tough food critics.
I thought I would share the recipe with you since easy, tasty family dishes are always in demand.
One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk, or more, as needed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, milk, butter and fettuccine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and parsley. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately.
