Plated: Pasta Amore
In a large pot or skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil and add garlic. Stir and cook until garlic becomes fragrant and just starts to brown; about 1 minute. Warm cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Add pasta, salt, pepper, butter, chicken stock, and warm cream. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has nearly evaporated, creating a sauce.
Remove from heat, toss pasta, and gradually stir in parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh minced parsley, if desired.
