One pan, 20 minutes, and a handful of pantry staples — that's all it takes for this easy lemon garlic pasta. The linguine cooks right in the sauce, absorbing all that bright, lemony, garlicky flavor from the broth as it simmers. It's the kind of quick pasta dinner that feels effortless and tastes like you actually tried.
Pro Tip
Use a wide, deep skillet so the pasta has room to cook evenly in the liquid — this is what makes the one pan method work. Stir frequently during those 9–11 minutes so nothing sticks.

- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
