Do I love garlic for any of these reasons, nope, zip, nadda. Why do I love garlic? Because it tastes so darn good! Garlic salt and garlic powder are staples in my pantry. I almost always have a clove of garlic in my fridge. I think you get the message. Another  favorite of mine is pasta, I can never get enough pasta!. Putting the two together is a win-win in my book. So when I saw this recipe from Katie at The Cheese Pusher I couldn’t wait to give it a try!

I made this dish when I was visiting my son, and my daughter and her wonderful husband in Utah. They are used to me using them as guinea pigs for recipes I want to test from Pinterest. It’s nice when I can get several opinions on one recipe. My son loved it and he was thrilled that I had made enough for him to take leftovers home!

One thing about this dish is it asks you to use cream, not regular cream but HEAVY cream. My advice? DO IT! I know, I know not only is it fattening, it can make your cholesterol levels rise. But with some dishes you have to stop counting calories, forget about cholesterol levels and just ENJOY the culinary experience. This is one of those dishes. Next time I’m going to throw in some grilled chicken strips and brocolli. Oh yea, there is going to a lot of next times with this recipe because…….
