Creamy Pasta

Serves: 4

Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 oz (340g) pasta (fettuccine or your choice)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Make the creamy sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the cream and broth: Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Combine the pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
5. Finish with Parmesan: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Garnish and serve: Top with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately!
7. You can use broccoli and green onions.
