1

In 3 1/2-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is tender.
2

Add chicken broth, spaghetti and pepper; heat to boiling. Simmer 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is absorbed and pasta is al dente. Stir in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and the whipping cream just until heated through.
3

Serve immediately with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Chopped garlic is sold in jars and works in a pinch if you don’t want to chop your own garlic.
Try stirring in 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper to add a subtle heat to this recipe.
