One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta
The easiest and creamiest pasta made in a single pot – even the pasta gets cooked right in the pan! How easy is that?
Garlic and parmesan. A match made in heaven. And with the help of a single pan, you can make the easiest, most epic pasta ever.
Just think of this as a creamy alfredo, except without the heavy cream and the cream cheese. And no, taste is not compromised in this super easy one pot meal.
The one pan aspect actually helps the noodles soak up all that amazing flavor, giving you that light cream sauce coating the noodles in all its garlic-Parmesan glory.
And if you really want to save on dishes, you know my rule – this should get eaten straight out of the pot. The dishes, the plating, the garnishes – it’ll just slow you down anyway!
One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk, or more, as needed
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, milk and fettuccine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Made this recipe for my young men (sons and husband) for an easy, quick dinner. I added an extra cup of chicken broth to make it a little saucier, and served it with steamed broccoli al dente. It was a HIT, they loved it.
Great go-to weekday recipe! I add a protein and veggies to make it a full one-pot meal.
Excellent! Tasty! Fast to put together.
I used almond milk and Parmesan Romano cheese for extra richness.
This was delicious! Thank you! I had to add an extra cup of milk/broth. I added sausages and spinach as well as chili flakes! It was tasty! I can’t wait to try other variations!!
Made this exactly according to the recipe, but used spaghetti instead of fettuccine because it’s what I had on hand. This was so easy and sooooo delicious. Can’t wait to try it with chicken and broccoli.
Wondering if the pasta sticks together bc it’s not brought to a boil before placing it in?
I haven’t had a problem with the pasta sticking
Hey, love this recipe, and yes I get that though whenever I stay right on top of it like stay with it it’s not done that! Amazing. Everything should work out well if following her directions and measured ingredients precisely. It is our go-to one-pot that always is the best.
This was great! So easy, so fast. I doubled the recipe, worked great. My new go to.
Thanks!
I’m shocked at how good this came out, with such few ingredients. Like, literally I can’t even describe it. It’s creamy but not like Alfredo (I hate Alfredo sauce), and it’s garlicky but not overpowering. This is going to become one of my go-to recipes for sure.
My husband and I loved this!
EXCELLENT****
Delicious!
I exchanged the butter, cheese, and broth into salted butter, cheddar cheese, and mushroom broth (the ready to use kind) because those are what I have on hand. No salt added. Garlic around 10 cloves because I love garlic. Fresh ground blackpepper ✔️. Parsley (the dry kind) ✔️. I think my pasta is more than 250gr, but I used milk and broth as the recipe stated (it turned out nice). All in one pan ✔️.
Thank you for the recipe! ❤
I make this recipe all the time, and have been for several years now! It’s a family favorite, and is perfect as written.
This pasta dish must be how you came upon your site name. It is damn delicious!
I used fresh pasta, and whipped it up in under 15 minutes.
Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
what a yummy comfort dish for a last minute idea.so garlicky so creamy thank you for this super yummy fast recipe!
I doubled up the garlic and added peas and it was amazing!
This recipe was delicious! It came together just as expected, even using fresh gluten free pasta. I added sautéed shrimp to the finished pasta and served it with steamed broccoli. It will definitely be in our regular rotation!
VERY GOOD I LOVE IT
My son has asked for less meals with meat so I’m always on the lookout for meatless recipes and this one will definitely get made again! It was really yummy! I added a little more parmesan and also some Monterey Jack because we’re cheese lovers. Great pasta and I love that it’s also a one pan meal!
Very tasty!! I tripled the liquids and garlic and added cooked chicken to the pot.
Will definitely make again.
It was delicious although the needed a lot more liquids. Is the pasta supposed to cook covered or uncovered ? Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I cooked this for my teacher, and she said this was the best dish she ever had. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Awesome dish… the whole family loved it.
