One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Description
The One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta recipe starts by melting butter and cooking garlic briefly to release its aroma. Adding chicken broth, milk, and uncooked fettuccine, the pasta simmers until tender, absorbing the flavorful liquids. Stirring occasionally prevents sticking and allows the sauce to thicken naturally without extra cream.
Once the pasta is cooked through, freshly grated Parmesan melts into the mixture, enriching the texture and flavor. The addition of chopped parsley adds a hint of freshness and color as a final touch. Seasoned with salt and pepper, this pasta delivers a smooth, garlicky, and cheesy result with minimal cleanup since everything cooks in one skillet.
Serve immediately for the best creamy texture, pairing well with a simple salad or steamed vegetables for a filling main course or quick weeknight meal.
