  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti recommended)
– 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
– 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– Salt, to taste

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.

6. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is cooked al dente and the broth has reduced.

7. Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it fully melts and creates a creamy sauce.

8. Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper according to your preference.
