One-Pan Lemon Garlic Pasta | The Easiest One-Pot Pasta Recipe

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and can provide a cheesy flavor.

Heat a large fry pan with medium heat and add in a generous 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.

Remove the skins from the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.

After heating the olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes, add in the chopped garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until lightly sautéed.

Add in 1 tsp dried thyme and mix together, then add in 3 cups vegetable broth and raise the heat to high.

Once the broth comes to a boil, add in 2 cups penne pasta and mix together, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

After 10 minutes, when most of the broth has been absorbed but some remains, place a lid on the pan and lower the heat to low-medium.

After simmering for 3 to 4 minutes, remove the lid; there should be a little broth left and the pasta should be cooked al dente.

Finely grate the zest of half a lemon over the pasta, season with sea salt and black pepper, grate some Manchego cheese over the pasta, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
