How to make Creamy Garlic Spaghetti

Tips from the cook

  • Use a wide pan, so the spaghetti lies flat and cooks evenly in the liquid.
  • Stir often with a wooden spoon, so the pasta does not stick to the pan.
  • If the pasta is still firm when the liquid runs low, add a splash more stock.
  • Stir in the parmesan at the end, so it melts into the sauce.
  • Serve right away, as the sauce thickens as it cools.
