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 (serves 3)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 2 cups chicken broth (+ up to 1 additional cup if needed)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (+0.25 more if desired)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- fresh parsley (minced)
- 1¼ cups ditalini pasta (175g, uncooked)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)

## Steps

1. 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
2. Add in 1¼ cup ditalini pasta and stir to coat
3. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth (or enough to just cover the pasta) and add ¼ teaspoon salt, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan
4. Cook until most of the broth has been absorbed (but not all) and the pasta is al dente
5. Add ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons salted butter, stirring until the cheese has melted
6. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste and garnish with minced fresh parsley
7. Enjoy immediately, so the sauce doesn't break

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No garlic paste? Use 3-4 minced fresh garlic cloves instead.
- No heavy cream? Swap in half-and-half, though the sauce will be a bit thinner.
- Vegetable broth can be used in place of chicken broth.
