- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the milk and cream. Stir consistently to avoid burning on the bottom of the pan until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium, and mix in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your own taste.
- Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the cooked pasta until the sauce begins to thicken. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
