Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the uncooked spaghetti, vegetable broth, water, heavy cream, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and ensure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking, for about 15-18 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and gently mix to combine.
Serve immediately while hot.
