One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta
One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta is a creamy and easy dinner made in one skillet. Angel hair pasta cooks directly in a rich garlic parmesan sauce. Ready in just 15 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken stock. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the angel hair pasta to the skillet. If necessary, break the pasta in half so it fits comfortably in the pan.
- Press the pasta into the liquid until fully submerged.
- Cover the skillet and cook for approximately 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If the pasta absorbs too much liquid before it finishes cooking, add a small amount of additional stock as needed.
- Once the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Garnish the One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Fresh parsley adds brightness and color but can be replaced with basil.
- For a richer sauce, add an extra tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
- A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a gentle kick of heat.
- Serve with garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
