Creamy Garlic Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz mini pasta shells
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp parsley flakes
Add water to a large saucepan and let it come to a boil. Add in the pasta and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the shells with a strainer in the sink and let them sit there.
Over medium heat in the same pan, melt the butter, add the olive oil and mix together. Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds (do not let the garlic stay still and turn golden/brown or else you’ll have to start over, so keep stirring!)
Add your flour and stir for about a minute. Now, add the chicken broth and milk, stirring until thick and bubbly (about 4-5 minutes). Please remember to continue to stir the entire time or your sauce may burn.
Stir in the cheese, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and pasta and mix until incorporated. Serve hot and top with parsley flakes and extra Parmesan to taste.
This recipe was adapted from Iowa Girl Eats recipe with minimal changes and it is absolutely delicious!
