Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ditalini pasta
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, add garlic, and cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add broth and ditalini, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 8 to 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in heavy cream and parmesan until melted and smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve hot, topped with chopped parsley and extra black pepper if you like.

Notes

If the ditalini hasn’t quite softened after 10 minutes, add a splash more broth and cook a couple of minutes longer. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so serve immediately for the creamiest texture.
