Creamy Garlic Pasta

As far as creamy pasta recipes, this is the best I have ever had. Add prawns and/or scallops to make an amazing seafood Alfredo.

 

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ pound spaghetti
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 1 ½ tablespoons dried parsley

Prep

• Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter and stir constantly until melted. Pour in 3 cups chicken broth; add pepper and salt. Bring to a boil.

• Add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Add more chicken broth if pasta starts to stick to the pan.

• Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and parsley and mix until thoroughly combined. Serve immediately.

  Combine with shrimp or scallops for a tasty treat.

Grilled Garlic

Grilling a whole garlic bulb is an easy & delicious method that's similar to roasting. Create a warm, wonderful garlic spread for crackers, bread or add as a garnish to your steak. Spanish Roja makes a wonderful grilled or roasted garlic.

• Slice the top off a head of garlic
• Drizzle with olive oil
• Grill on medium heat for about 25 minutes
