Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

5 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz spaghetti

1 cup cooked pasta water
1 chicken bouillon cube

1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups Four-Cheese Italian White Cheese Blend (Mozzarella, White Cheddar, Provolone, Asiago)
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (or use green onions)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Step 2: Cook the spaghetti in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in 1 cup of the hot reserved pasta water.
Step 3: Add the bouillon-infused pasta water, heavy cream, and cooked spaghetti to the skillet with garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, immediately add the cheese blend and keep stirring until the cheese melts and coats the pasta, about 1 minute.

Step 4: Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5: Serve the pasta topped with freshly chopped parsley or green onions for a burst of color and freshness.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken bouillon cube and substitute with vegetable bouillon or simply use salted pasta water.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
Use gluten-free pasta if you prefer a gluten-free dish.
Freshly grated Parmesan can be sprinkled on top for extra flavor.

Storage

Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce if it has thickened too much.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use different types of cheese for this sauce?

Yes, you can customize the cheese blend to your taste, but using a combination of mozzarella, white cheddar, provolone, and asiago gives the sauce its signature creamy and tangy flavor.

What can I use instead of chicken bouillon?

If you prefer not to use chicken bouillon, vegetable bouillon or simply salted pasta water can work well to add flavor without changing the dish significantly.
