One Pot Spicy Garlic Parm Pasta

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 4 garlic cloves (grated or finely minced)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste for spice level)
• 1.5 cup dry pasta (short shapes like penne or fusilli work best)
• 16.9 oz organic chicken bone broth (one standard small carton)
• 0.33 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp butter (unsalted preferred)
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the grated garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, being careful not to burn it.

3. 3

   Add the dry pasta directly into the pot. Pour in the 16.9 oz of chicken bone broth. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 8-10 minutes depending on pasta type).

5. 5

   Once the pasta is cooked and the liquid has reduced to a thick starch, stir in the heavy cream, butter, and lemon juice. Mix well until the butter is melted and the sauce is glossy.

6. 6

   Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.

7. 7

   Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick before the pasta is fully cooked, add a splash more broth or water. For a brighter flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest.
