Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 pkg Pasta penne is recommended
  • - 1 stick of butter
  • - 1 clove of minced garlic
  • - 1 pint of heavy cream
  • - 1 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese
  • - 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • - 1/4 tsp salt
  • - 1/2 tsp white pepper

Method
 

  1. Begin by cooking the pasta according to your preferred method. Meanwhile, in a saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter and incorporate the minced garlic, sautéing for approximately two minutes until fragrant.
  2. Next, add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle bubbling point. Be careful to avoid boiling. Once bubbling, gradually stir in the fresh Parmesan cheese until it fully melts and integrates into the sauce.
