Therefore, I planned out some extra recipes for meals that week, and went a little crazy. Basically, I ended up making a new recipe pretty much every night last week. For that reason, this next series of posts are going to be on the shorter side&#8230;. I&#8217;m still trying to figure out what format I like for these things to please bear with me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thecheesepusher.tumblr.com\/post\/2719857351\/creamy-garlic-pasta\">Creamy Garlic Pasta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2 tsp olive oil<br \/>\n4 cloves garlic, minced<br \/>\n2 tbsp butter<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00bc\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0tsp salt<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00bd tsp pepper<br \/>\n3 cups chicken stock<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00bd lb angel hair pasta<br \/>\n1 cup grated parmesan cheese<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00be cup heavy cream<br \/>\n2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n<p>This one was worrisome, in that by the time we did our normal Monday trip to the store and got home, I only had about 45 minutes to make and eat dinner before Matt needed to leave for karate. Having not made it before, I didn&#8217;t know how long this would take. Thankfully, this ended up being a really quick dinner!<\/p>\n<p>Basically, heat up some olive oil in a pot and cook 4 cloves of minced garlic for only about a minute or so. No browning, brown = bitter garlic. Then you add in about 2 Tbls of butter. Any dish that starts with olive oil, garlic, and butter cannot be horrible. Right?<\/p>\n<p>Once the butter is melted, add in some salt, pepper and 3 cups of chicken stock or broth. Bring that to a boil. Then add in your angel hair pasta and cook one minute less than the box tells you to (for al dente). After the pasta is where you want it, don&#8217;t drain it, just reduce the heat and add the parmesan cheese, stir until it&#8217;s melted. Remove from the heat and finish with the cream and parsley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlytwopeople.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMAG0088.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1018\" alt=\"IMAG0088\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlytwopeople.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMAG0088-1024x577.jpg\" width=\"491\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.onlytwopeople.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMAG0088-1024x577.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.onlytwopeople.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMAG0088-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Start to finish about 20 minutes, and most of that was letting the broth come to a boil.
