One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Shellbows

• butter↗2 tablespoon
• cloves garlic, minced (sub 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)↗2
• vegetable or chicken broth2.5 cup
• whole milk↗1 cup
• salt↗0.5 teaspoon
• pasta (SHELLBOWS ARE SO FUN!)↗8 ounce
• grated Parmesan cheese0.5 cup
• heavy cream or half and half↗0.25 cup

Step-by-step 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.
