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 and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 cups broccoli optional
  • 2 chicken breasts 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add chicken broth, milk, remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter, pasta noodles, salt and pepper, and basil. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in Parmesan when noodles are finished cooking and add a little milk if necessary if necessary to reach your desired consistency.

Notes

  • Keep noodles to a simmer - If you cook these on too high of a heat, the noodles will cook too fast and won’t absorb the liquid as well.
  • Add liquid - If you noodles look like they are getting too thick, just keep adding a splash or milk of broth to keep the consistency.
  • Add other flavors - Boost the flavor by adding Cajun seasoning, oregano, Italian seasoning, or lemon pepper.
