Cooking Instructions

  • Heat a pan on medium/low heat and add the olive oil. Then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes, careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Next, add the small pasta to the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Keep simmering until the pasta absorbs almost all the broth, stirring every couple of minutes.
  • When the pasta is almost cooked, add the heavy cream and mix well. Continue cooking until pasta reaches al dente, adding broth as needed.
  • Add the butter, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and top with parsley if desired.

Notes

Adjust chicken broth according to the shape of pasta used.
