Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo

½ cup (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic (I used the already minced garlic from a jar and add two tsp.)
2 cups heavy cream
Pinch salt & pepper- (I also add parsley at the end)
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Strips of chicken
1 12oz. box pasta- I use bowtie.

1. Melt butter in medium sauce pan over medium/low heat.
2. Add garlic, cream, salt and pepper, and bring to simmer. Turn heat down if it reaches a boil as it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick.
3. While sauce cooks, boil water and add pasta. Cook for 12 minutes or until tender, and drain.
4. Combine pasta, cubed chicken, and sauce into a bowl and stir. Top with additional grated parmesan.
