The HEALTHIEST Creamy Garlic Pasta | Easy ONE-PAN 20 Minute Recipe
This Creamy Pasta is truly The HEALTHIEST Creamy Garlic Pasta Ever. It´s packed with flavors, made with simple everyday ingredients and done in about 20 minutes using just one pan. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for a complete and delicious meal.

What makes this creamy pasta healthier than others, is using light cream cheese instead of heavy cream to give it that creamy goodness. Important for the cream cheese to be at room temperature, as it makes it so much easier to work with.

For the liquid I used vegetable broth, as it gives the pasta a bigger depth of flavors. You can use other liquids, such as chicken broth or even water. For the pasta I used penne, but any type of pasta will work in this recipe.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: If you notice your cream sauce is too thick when mixing it with the pasta, just add in some broth or water at room temperature. I suggest serving this dish right when it´s done, as the longer it sits, the thicker the sauce will get and will lose its creamy texture.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
