Making One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta is straightforward and easy to follow. Here’s how to do it:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
3. Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
4. Cook the Pasta: Add the linguine or spaghetti to the pot, making sure it’s submerged in the broth. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente.
5. Stir in the Cream: Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well.
6. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Gradually add the Parmesan cheese while stirring until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until the sauce is creamy and all the pasta is coated.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Following these steps will ensure that your One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta turns out perfect every time.
