Equipment

• Bowl

Ingredients

• 8 oz. uncooked pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or farfalle)
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the uncooked pasta, broth, milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 12-15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let the pasta rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to further thicken.
