HOW TO MAKE HEAVY CREAM PASTA SAUCE

- Cook till al dente, strain and set aside
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan add butter to melt, minced garlic and sauté till fragrant
- Add in the heavy cream, turn down to low heat and slowly stir in the cream cheese
- Once combined add in the parmesan cheese and all the seasonings

This can all be made in one pot, as long as you do the pasta part first or use two pots and have it all going at once.
