Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 1 minute.
- Toss in the pasta, vegetable broth, cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a rapid boil before reducing the heat. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes to thicken up.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after sautéing the garlic. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
