One-Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta

Many of my recipes I find online and then tweak to fit my taste and dietary needs. This recipe was inspired by Damn Delicious, and you can find the original recipe here.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive or coconut oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder, but cloves are better)
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk (or milk alternative). Add more if needed
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
8 ounces fettuccine, or spaghetti, or whatever pasta you want really
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (learn how to make vegan parmesan here.)
Salt and pepper to taste
Parsley if you want to get fancy

1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add garlic and stir about 1-2 minutes.

2. Stir in broth, milk, butter, and pasta. Add desired salt and pepper.

3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer. Stir occasionally until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in parmesan. If it is too thick, add more milk, or if it is too thin add more parmesan.

4. Serve with fancy parsley on top

You can serve this along side your favorite vegetables, or you can add vegetables right into the pasta. My suggestions are broccoli, peas, asparagus, caramelized onions... the list goes on. The only limit is your imagination, tbh. Pictured below is the one-pot pasta with zucchini, summer squash, and onions. I cooked them in a separate pan with some butter and stirred them in just before serving. Also, I use whole wheat pasta because it's better for you with more fiber and whatnot which makes it more filling. But you do you :)
