One Pot Creamy Garlic Noodles
Description
One Pot Creamy Garlic Noodles bring together linguini pasta, butter, garlic, chicken broth, milk, and parmesan cheese in a single pot. The process begins with sautéing minced garlic in butter to release its aroma. Then chicken broth, milk, and additional butter are added along with the uncooked linguini, seasoned with salt, pepper, and basil. The noodles cook by simmering in this liquid mixture until tender, absorbing the flavorful broth. Optionally, broccoli can be added midway through cooking to soften and integrate with the pasta, while grilled chicken strips bring protein to the dish. Finishing by stirring in parmesan cheese thickens the sauce and adds a salty, nutty note that complements the garlic. The result is creamy noodles with subtle herbal accents and a satisfying texture.
This dish works well as a standalone main course, balancing carbohydrates, vegetables, and protein if chicken is included. Adjustable seasoning and add-ins permit customization for different tastes and dietary needs.
To maintain the desired sauce consistency, it is recommended to keep the noodles at a simmer and add more broth or milk if the mixture thickens too much during cooking. Variations can include adding spices like Cajun seasoning or lemon pepper to enhance flavor, as suggested in the notes.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon butter divided
- 4-5 cloves garlic minced
- 28 ounces chicken broth (3 3/4 cups)
- 2 1/2 cups milk add more if needed
- 1 pound linguini
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 4 cups broccoli optional
- 2 chicken breast grilled and cut into strips (optional. See notes above on how to make chicken part of the "one-pot" meal if you don't want to grill
Instructions
- In a large, 5-6 quart skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons of butter over medium heat. If you don't have a large skillet, a stock-pot works well, too. Add garlic and cook for about a minute.
- Add chicken broth, milk, remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter, pasta noodles, salt and pepper, and basil. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer stirring occasionally for 16-20 minutes or until noodles have cooked through. If you are wanting to add broccoli, add it after about 10 minutes into the simmering process.
- Stir in Parmesan when noodles are finished cooking and add a little milk if necessary if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
Notes
- Maintain a gentle simmer when cooking the noodles to ensure they absorb liquid evenly without overcooking.
- Add extra broth or milk as needed to adjust the sauce thickness to your preference.
- Enhance the dish by incorporating additional seasonings such as Cajun spices, oregano, Italian seasoning, or lemon pepper to vary the flavor profile.
