One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta

Why not start the week with a one pot dish? One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta is a perfect quick and delicious meal for the family! This dish is fast, flavorful, and full of creamy garlic goodness!

Life can keep us busy, but we still have to eat. This One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta is delicious and filling. The good news is you do not have sacrifice flavor for the sake of time. Everything is cooked in one pot! The flavors infuse the pasta and it delivers the most creamy garlic sauce.

I prefer penne pasta in this dish, but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand or prefer. You may have to adjust the cooking time slightly based on your pasta of choice. The parsley is not necessary for this dish, but it definitely adds a nice touch. The bonus I love in this dish is only one pot, delicious meal, and little cleanup!
