Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic minced
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
½ cup heavy cream
12 ounces linguine or fettuccine pasta
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot or skillet over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.
Add chicken broth, milk and cream. Bring to low boil. Add pasta and gently boil until tender; 15-20 minutes while stirring the noodles several times. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan Cheese until melted.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

If the pasta becomes too thick, add a little chicken broth, milk, and cream in the same proportions as the recipe. It is hard to mess this one up.
Cook the pasta over a very low boil while stirring frequently. Keep the pasta under the liquid, adding more chicken broth, milk, and cream in the same recipe proportions if necessary.
Fresh spinach or frozen peas can be added in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
Both rotisserie-cooked chicken and skillet sautéed lemon shrimp are delicious when added to the pasta upon completion.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power or on the stovetop over low heat.
