Creamy Garlic Scape Pasta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine works well)
– 1 cup garlic scapes, chopped
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Garlic Scape Pasta is quite simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. Prepare the Garlic Scapes: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic scapes and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become tender.

3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

5. Season: Taste the pasta and season with salt and pepper as needed. Mix well.

6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
