That Viral Ditalini Pasta Recipe is a mouthwatering, savory dish that's brimming with comfort-food vibes! This 15-minute one-pot dish is perfectly cooked al dente pasta that's smothered in a creamy butter sauce that's packed with garlic flavor!

Ingredients  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • cup ditalini pasta 175g, uncooked
  • 2 cups chicken broth + up to 1 additional cup if needed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • ¼ cup heavy cream +¼ more if desired
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • black pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley minced

Instructions

  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon garlic paste to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown.
  • Add in 1¼ cup ditalini pasta and stir to coat.
  • Pour in 2 cups chicken broth (or enough to just cover the pasta) and add ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Once most of the broth has been absorbed (but not all) and the pasta is al dente (about 8 minutes), add ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons salted butter, stirring until the cheese has melted.
  • Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste and garnish with minced fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately, so the sauce doesn't break.

Notes

  • For a kick of heat, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or make it even hotter with 1 tablespoon of chili crisp.
