Ingredients
  

  • 170 g pasta
  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
  • Salt/black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the garlic: In a deep frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat, and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Melt the butter and give it a stir.
  • Cook the pasta: Pour in chicken stock, a pinch of dried oregano and red pepper flakes, then add in uncooked pasta. Bring it to boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Finish with cream and cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until melted. If too thick, add a splash of water/milk. Season with salt/pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Garnish with extra red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
