Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet or pot and cook garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add pasta, broth, milk, and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir in Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until creamy.
  5. Finish with parsley and serve hot.

Tips for the best results

Cook the pasta just to al dente, salt the pasta water well, and save a little pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed. Fresh herbs and Parmesan can add even more flavor at the end.
