Ingredients
  

12 oz spaghetti

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

    Cook the Pasta: Add the uncooked spaghetti to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the spaghetti cooks evenly and doesn't stick.

      Season It Up: Once the spaghetti is tender (about 9-11 minutes or according to package instructions), remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Finishing Touches: Add the chopped parsley and lemon zest to the pot, mixing well to incorporate all the flavors. If desired, add additional olive oil for richness.

          Serve: Divide the Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti into bowls, garnishing with more parsley and Parmesan if desired. Enjoy your delicious one-pot meal!
