Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 clove garlic minced (or 2 smaller cloves)
- 8 ounces fettuccine (or pasta of your choice)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, plus more for garnish
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Grab a deep sided skillet that's large enough to fit the fettuccine.
- Place the skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add milk, chicken broth, butter, and garlic. Bring to simmer and stir until the butter is melted. Then add the pasta.
- Move the pasta around every 30 seconds or so until it is softened so it doesn't stick. This should take around 3 minutes. Once the pasta is softened, reduce the heat to medium and stir every couple of minutes.
- After another 6 minutes or so, the pasta should be almost cooked but there should still be liquid covering the base of the skillet. Add in the cream and parmesan and mix.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and the pasta is cooked. *If you cook it too long and the sauce goes gluggy, add a splash of hot tap water, it will go back to being silky with a few tosses.
- Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated parmesan and parsley!
