One-Pan Garlic & Herb Pasta | INSANELY Delicious 20 Minute Recipe

This One-Pan Garlic & Herb Pasta is where simplicity meets extraordinary. We’re talking a ton of great flavors, basic pantry staples and all done in under 30 minutes. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish red wine from Jumilla for a delicious meal.

To make this recipe, I used penne pasta. But you can use any type of thick-cut pasta you like. Such as rigatoni, bow tie pasta or even ziti. For the liquid, I used homemade vegetable broth. However, you can also use chicken broth, beef broth or even water. Just season accordingly if using water.

I topped the pasta off with some grated Spanish Manchego cheese. The one I used was aged for 6 months. You can use whatever cheese you like or whatever you have on hand. The best substitutes for Manchego are: Asiago, Cheddar, Gouda and Pecorino Romano.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: To cook your pasta perfectly al dente, place a lid on the pan when there are about 3 minutes left for the pasta to be cooked al dente. In my case it was 9 minutes, then I placed the lid on the pan and lowered to a low-medium heat and simmered for 3 to 4 minutes.

Author Albert Bevia @ Spain on a Fork

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
• 1 shallot
• 8 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour 8 grams
• 1/2 cup dry white wine 120 ml
• 1 tsp dried oregano 1 gram
• 1 tsp dried parsley 1 gram
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
• 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth 840 ml
• 8 oz penne pasta 225 grams
• 1/4 cup grated Manchego cheese 30 grams
• 1 lemon
• handful freshly chopped basil
• sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

2. In the meantime, thinly slice the shallot and roughly chop the garlic

3. Add the shallot and garlic into the hot fry pan, mix continuously, after 2 to 3 minutes and the shallot is translucent, add in the flour, continue to mix for 1 to 2 minutes, then add in the white wine, oregano, parsley, thyme, a kiss of lemon zest and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer

4. After 3 minutes and the alcohol has been cooked off in the wine, add in the vegetable broth, raise to a high heat and give it a gentle mix until well mixed together

5. Once it comes to a boil add in the pasta, mix every 2 to 3 minutes so the pasta doesn't stick together and it all evenly cooks

6. After 8 to 9 minutes, which in my case is about 3 minutes shy of the pasta being cooked al dente, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the pasta is just cooked al dente, then remove the pan from the heat

7. Serve directly out of the pan, topped off with the grated cheese and chopped basil, enjoy!
