Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta I used linguine, uncooked
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley optional, to taste, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions.
- When the pasta isn't far from being cooked, it's time to start the sauce. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and let the roux cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Stir in the garlic and chicken broth and let it simmer for about a minute.
- Stir/whisk in the cream and let the sauce cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's thickened to your liking.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt & pepper as needed.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce until well coated (add a little pasta water if you wish to thin the sauce a bit). Serve immediately with parsley and extra parm if desired.
