Make this creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta in one pot for a satisfying, rich weeknight meal with minimal cleanup. This recipe delivers comfort food flavor fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the spaghetti, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper into a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring often, for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed, creating a thick sauce.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use half chicken broth and half vegetable broth.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add a splash of water or extra broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in this cheesy garlic parmesan dish.
