Creamy Garlic Pasta

Ingredients

1 pound box of GF Penne Pasta (or similar sized) (cooked according to directions on box )
1/4 cup salted butter
5-6 cloves of garlic, minced
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 teaspoons parsley flakes
2/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Prepare pasta according to directions on box, drain, set aside and keep warm.  
• In a medium-size saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter and then add garlic, cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Next, add flour and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly add milk and chicken broth, stirring continuously, until sauce begins to boil and thicken. Once the sauce thickens, add parsley and Parmesan cheese and blend until cheese has melted. 
• Once the sauce is ready, pour over pasta, toss and serve immediately. Serve with your favorite veggies and salad.  

Tips

• Great as a main or side dish.  
• Serve alongside or toss with precooked veggies (broccoli is terrific), chicken or seafood (shrimp and pan-seared scallops)
