Instructions

  • In a large skillet heat butter. Saute garlic for 30 seconds until it is aromatic.
  • Slowly add chicken stock. When the chicken stock just starts to boil add dried pasta to the skillet.

Notes

  1. Keep 1/2 cup of warm chicken stock handy. If the liquid in the pan has reduced but the pasta is not cooked, then add the remaining stock. 
  2. This is a true one-pot recipe, as everything is done in a single pan. No multiple pans, so hassle-free cleaning.
