    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced (sub 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
    • 2 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 0.50 teaspoon salt
    • 8 ounces pasta (SHELLBOWS ARE SO FUN!)
    • 0.50 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 0.25 cup heavy cream or half and half (optional)

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant and soft (avoid browning, though).

    2. 2

      Add the broth, milk, salt, and pasta. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a low simmer. Let the pasta cook for 15-or-so minutes, until soft and the liquid has reduced. (The milk might form a skin on top of the pot or on the spoon – no worries, just skim it off.)

    3. 3

      When the sauce is thickened and the pasta is soft, stir in the Parmesan. And if you feel like you want to take it up a notch, add the cream.

    4. 4

      There you go! Yum! So many serving options, but for now you need to spend at least two minutes standing over the hot pan doing some taste testing.
