Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound penne or rigatoni pasta
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté garlic about 1 minute until fragrant without burning.
  2. Add uncooked pasta, broth, salt, and pepper; stir and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce to medium-low; simmer 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until pasta is al dente and most liquid absorbs.
  4. Stir in cream and 1 cup Parmesan for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts into creamy sauce.
  5. Remove from heat; stand 2-3 minutes to thicken. Top with remaining Parmesan and parsley.
