Description
A delicious and quick honey garlic pasta dish perfect for any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
- ¼ cup (64 g) soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic, (minced)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)
- 2 cups (16 ounces / 480 g) chicken broth
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces spaghetti, (uncooked)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup (25 g) Parmesan cheese, (grated)
- fresh parsley, (chopped for garnish)
- red pepper flakes, (for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
- To a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the uncooked spaghetti to the skillet, fanning it out or breaking it in half if needed, so it lays mostly flat. Use tongs to gently stir and separate the noodles, making sure they’re coated and submerged in the liquid.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the pasta. Stir well, then immediately stir in the cornstarch slurry. Let simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and extra red pepper flakes, if desired.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
