Creamy Garlic Pasta

One of my friends shared the link to this recipe and we decided to try it. It was absolutely delicious! We did stir in some leftover salmon (shrimp or chicken would work as well), but it would have been just as yummy without it.


Creamy Garlic Pasta

2 teaspoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cups chicken broth, plus a little extra
1/2 pound spaghetti
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley

In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add the garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes.  Add butter and melt, stirring constantly.  Add salt, pepper, and 3 cups chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.  Add the pasta and cook according to box directions.  Add a little more chicken broth if the noodles start to stick to the bottom and burn.  Add the cheese, cream, and parsley when the pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness and mix thoroughly.  Serve immediately.

Note: I only had 1/2 cup heavy cream, so added 1/4 cup sour cream. That worked quite well also.
