This is from the Frugal Gourmet cookbook. I've always counted on this recipe for a simple, yet fantastic, side pasta dish.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup whipping cream
salt
pepper
1/2 lb pasta, cooked (weight before cooking)
parmesan cheese or romano cheese, grated (to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

1
Thinly slice the garlic and saute in the olive oil until not quite browned.
2
Add the cream, tiny bit of salt, and ample pepper.
3
Simmer for a moment to reduce the cream.
4
Toss the cream with the hot pasta, just removed from the water.
5
Add lots of cheese and a parsley garnish.

If we could give this 10 stars we would! It went very well with your Roasted Asparagus With Parmesan and was a very simple dish to make. We turned it into a main dish by adding prawns. We will be making this again and again! Made for the November 2009 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.

I made this for lunch with a small salad and some Italian bread. The directions were easy, and the taste was creamy and garlicy. Not overwhelming, but just wonderful. This is a nice dish for a quick and easy meal.
