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

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • 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.
