Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 1 cup Ditalini Pasta A small, tube-shaped pasta that soaks up the creamy sauce beautifully.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Enhances the flavor while cooking the pasta; vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian swap.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for sautéing the garlic; can be replaced with butter for an extra-rich flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste Adds a bold garlic flavor to the dish, but fresh minced garlic works well too.
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream Gives that dreamy creamy texture to the sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons Salted Butter Adds richness and creaminess; unsalted butter can be used; just adjust the salt level.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese For that savory, creamy touch; Pecorino Romano can substitute for a sharper flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper For seasoning, adjust according to your taste preferences.
For the Finish
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley Brings freshness and a pop of color to your dish; you can omit it if you prefer.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt To enhance all the flavors; add more according to taste.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Step-by-Step Instructions for That Viral Ditalini Pasta Recipe
  1. Heat the Oil and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat for about a minute. Add garlic paste, stirring continuously until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the Ditalini Pasta: Pour in uncooked ditalini pasta and stir well to coat each piece in the oil. Sauté for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the Broth: Add chicken broth to cover the pasta. Sprinkle in salt and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium.
  4. Cook the Pasta: Stir frequently as the broth reduces. After about 8 minutes, the ditalini should be al dente.
  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce heat to low, stir in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream, add salted butter and mix until melted.
  6. Season and Garnish: Taste and adjust with additional salt and black pepper. Sprinkle in fresh parsley and give it a final stir.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Dish out the finished Ditalini Pasta, relishing in the creamy goodness.

Notes

Enjoy the dish immediately after cooking for the best texture. Reheating can cause the sauce to separate and lose its creaminess.
