Creamy Parmesan Noodles

Begin by filling a large pot with water and adding a moderate amount of salt. Place the pot over high heat, allowing it to reach a rolling boil.

Once boiling, add bow tie pasta to the pot and stir occasionally as it cooks until it reaches a tender yet slightly resistant texture, typically within 12 minutes of cooking time. Remove the pasta from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and return it to the pot.

Meanwhile, melt a small amount of butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Add heavy cream and minced garlic cloves to the saucepan, stirring gently as it warms through, taking about 2-3 minutes. Discard the garlic cloves once they have reached their desired level of heat.

Gradually pour the warmed cream sauce over the cooked bow tie pasta, seasoning it with black pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta and toss gently until the cheese has fully incorporated and melted.
