Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup milk low-fat
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch Optional (see note below)
  • 4 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or long pasta
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley fresh, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, in a large saucepan with extra virgin olive oil, sautè the garlic until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken broth, milk, pasta, salt & pepper then bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat, cover, then simmer until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally, about 17 minutes. Time depends on the kind of spaghetti you have.
  • When it's cooked, turn off the fire then add the Parmesan and parsley. Mix well then serve while hot.

Notes

Optional: If you prefer a thicker Sauce, combine the 2 tablespoons cornstarch with enough water to make a thin paste. Add to pasta mixture once pasta is al dente.
