Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 3 garlic minced, cloves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup Italian cheese blend (grated)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese garnish, fresh grated
  • herbs garnish, fresh

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water. * Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of salted pasta water.
  2. While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter and garlic and cook for ONLY 1 minute. Garlic can burn quickly so have your chicken broth and creamy ready to add to the skillet. Add cream and chicken broth. Add 1/2 cup of salted pasta water (add more later if you desire a thinner sauce).
  3. Add cheese in small batches, stirring after each addition. If you add the cheese all at once, it may clump. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat. If you want a thinner sauce, add more reserved pasta water, if so desired.
  5. When ready to serve, garnish with freshly ground pepper, fresh parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Fresh Herb Ideas: Italian Parsley, Basil, Chives
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste. Use fresh ground pepper for more flavor.
  • Add a generous amount of salt to the pasta water. You want to add enough salt that the water becomes cloudy. Make sure to reserve 1 cup of salted pasta water to thin out the sauce.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick or needs to be re-heated, add a touch of water to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
