Ingredients
8 oz pasta of choice
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta:
Boil the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve ½ cup of pasta water for the sauce.
