Pasta and Sour Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
– 8 ounces of pasta (such as fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 cup of sour cream
– 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes until the broth reduces slightly.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until it’s well combined with the broth. Let it simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it in the sour cream sauce until the pasta is well coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add some reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another minute or until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the Pasta and Sour Cream Sauce with fresh chopped parsley.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Pasta and Sour Cream Sauce hot, straight from the skillet! This recipe is versatile, so feel free to add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to make it your own. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, although it’s so delicious it might not last that long!
