Ingredients
  

12 ounces spaghetti

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice)

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Garlic: In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

    Add Broth and Spaghetti: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Add the spaghetti, making sure it's submerged in the broth.

      Cook the Pasta: Reduce the heat and let the spaghetti simmer for about 9-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid.

        Add Spinach and Cheese: Once the spaghetti is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach (if using) and let it wilt for about a minute. Then, remove the pot from heat and add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until creamy and well combined.

          Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper as desired. If you prefer extra cheesiness, you can sprinkle additional Parmesan on top.

            Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy, savory one pot garlic Parmesan spaghetti!
