This One Pan Garlic Parmesan Pasta is such a universal dish that it can be enjoyed as a main dish or side dish. Also, it is a kid-friendly meal, and they fall in love with this recipe as well.
The buttery and creamy sauce complements the pasta nicely making it one of our favorite comfort foods of all time!
The fact that requires a few simple ingredients and is ready in less than 30 minutes makes it even better. Especially, if you have a full and busy day, this dish comes quite handy. In addition, feel free to make it ahead and store it for later.
Leftovers are delicious and taste even better the following days as the pasta soaks all the cream inside.
What do i need to make garlic parmesan pasta?
You will need the following ingredients:
- Pasta – Feel free to use your favorite types, such as spaghetti, penne, macaroni or fettuccine. Any pasta will work, so use whatever you have available.
- Parmesan cheese – Because cheese is the central ingredient here, I highly recommend using some good quality one. Go with aged version, and shred it at home. I do not like using already packed, shredded cheese.
- Chicken broth – For the sauce, I tend to use a little chicken stock. You can also use vegetable stock as well.
- Heavy cream – This is what makes this dish so creamy and delicious. So do not hesitate using it. Also, you can substitute it with half and half or milk. However, I recommend sticking with cream as it gives a nice and thick texture to it.
- Garlic – Use freshly minced garlic.
- Olive oil or butter – just a bit to saute the garlic in it.
- Salt and pepper – to taste.
- Parsley – To garnish I tend to add some chopped parsley. If not a fan, simply skip it.
How to make one pot garlic parmesan pasta?
- Start by heating up some olive oil or some butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add the minced garlic, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir.
- Next, add in the chicken broth, cream, and pasta to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, add lemon zest and red pepper flakes, mix.
- Let it come to boil, and then reduce heat and simmer, while occasionally stirring. Let it simmer until the pasta is cooked through, for about 15 to 18 minutes.
- Lastly, once the pasta is cooked, shred in the Parmesan, if using stir in the cherry tomatoes. Garnish with some chopped parsley.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
