Instructions
Creating One-Pan Butter Parmesan Pasta is easy when you follow these clear instructions:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Add Pasta and Broth: Add the pasta and broth to the skillet. Ensure the pasta is fully submerged in the broth.
5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
