My life these days

My life these days revolves around pretty ordinary stuff...like cooking. This is the reason I am posting this recipe today because I loved it and it was quick and easy. If you added some cooked chicken bits to it, it would pass for Chicken Alfredo (low cal). It is one I will make again even if I am the only one enjoying it.
One Pot Pasta

Ingredients:

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 2 Tbsps. unsalted butter
• 8 oz. uncooked fettucine
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. In a shallow saucepan, sautée minced garlic until lightly brown.
2. Add chicken broth, milk, and butter to the pan. Stir until butter melts and ingredients mix.
3. Add uncooked pasta to pot, and add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Ladle liquid over pasta until covered.
5. Simmer mixture until pasta is cooked and liquid evaporates into a creamy sauce.
6. Mix in Parmesan cheese.
7. Plate and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

This simple meal tastes decadent without being too heavy, and is the perfect speedy meal for the middle of the week! Plus, you’ll cut your cleanup in half by sticking to just one pot.
