One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta
A quick and satisfying one-pot meal featuring a rich, creamy garlic sauce with pasta, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 8 oz Pasta (your choice) Feel free to use gluten-free pasta if needed.
- 3 cloves Minced garlic Cook on medium heat to avoid burning.
- 2 cups Milk Whole milk is best for creaminess; plant-based milk can also be used.
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Substitute for vegan cheese to make it vegan.
- 1 tsp Salt Adjust according to taste.
- 1/2 tsp Pepper Freshly ground pepper is preferable.
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing garlic.
- 2 tbsp Parsley Optional, for garnishing.
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
- Sauté the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add your chosen pasta to the pot along with enough milk to cover the pasta completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely, creating a creamy sauce.
- Season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Storage: Cover it with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
