Directions:Cook spaghetti or fettuccine noodles according to package.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute on medium heat, without burning. Add chicken pieces if you have it.
Drain pasta, but reserve 1 cup of cooked pasta water. Dissolve 1 cube of chicken broth bullion in 1 cup of hot pasta water. Add pasta water (with the dissolved chicken broth bullion cube in it), heavy cream and cooked spaghetti to the skillet with cooked garlic and chicken pieces. Bring to boil, stirring. Once the liquids are boiling, immediately add cheese and keep stirring everything together until cheese melts and coats pasta, for about 1 minute. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook, constantly stirring, to thicken the sauce - for another minute or two.
To spice it up, you can add spices to your taste.
To serve, top each serving with finely chopped chives, or green onions or parsley. |
