Creamy Garlic Noodles

Disclaimer: There's so much fat in this recipe I hope I don't get hate mail from anyone's cardiologist:@) ~But~ if there is room for a little creamy indulgence in your diet I think you'll love this! With olive oil, butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese and six cloves of garlic, these Creamy Garlic Noodles live up to their name! Everyone raved about them at dinner...

Notes:

• I've made this a couple times and you do want to use thinner pasta. I used large bow-ties the first time and they took way too long to cook. This was thin spaghetti and it worked better.
• It does call for a lot of garlic, especially if your cloves are bigger. You know your crowd, cut back a bit if needed.
• Do yourself a favor and sprinkle the parsley over the top instead of dumping it into the pot in one big clump... Take it from someone that spent time trying to break up that clump the last time...
• This recipe is easily cut in half.
• It's best served immediately.
• I believe this is supposed to mimic one of the side dishes that come in a box, only you can pronounce everything in this one:@)
