INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 🍝 1 pound rotini pasta, or any pasta

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Seasonings

    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon paste

  • Herbs

    • 🌿 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

  • Briny Additions

    • 3 tablespoons capers

STEPS

1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and set aside.

2

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add remaining butter and melt, then sprinkle in flour. Whisk to combine; cook for about 1 minute.

3

Whisk chicken soup base into reserved pasta water; pour into skillet. Whisk to make a smooth sauce. Whisk in lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, to taste. Stir in parsley and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

4

Toss sauce with drained pasta.
