Ingredients
– 12 ounces fettuccine or spaghetti pasta
– 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
Creating One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add Pasta: Pour in the uncooked pasta, followed by the vegetable or chicken broth. Stir to combine.
4. Season: Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Cook Pasta: Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.
8. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
