Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add 8 oz penne pasta, and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 minced garlic cloves, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add the drained penne pasta, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan to the skillet; stir constantly until cheese melts and sauce coats pasta, about 3-4 minutes.
