1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, heating until bubbling but not boiling.

If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of milk or cream while reheating.
