Easy Creamy Garlic Pasta

Description

Enjoy this rich and creamy dish with very little effort. It can be served as a main dish, but would go great with Chicken Marsala.

Ingredients

8 oz uncooked linguine pasta (any long pasta will work for a lighter dish)

1 tbl salt in water (for boiling pasta)

1 tbl butter

1 tsp flour

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy/whipping cream (can substitute with whole milk)

1/3 cup grated parmesan plus extra for garnish

Salt & pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a bowl, mix flour and broth. In a skillet, melt butter and stir garlic and chicken broth mixture. Let simmer for about a minute.

3. Whisk in the cream and let the sauce cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

4. Stir in parmesan cheese and season with salt & pepper to taste.

5. Toss pasta with sauce until coated. You can add some pasta water if it is too thick. Garnish with parsley and extra parmesan if desired.
