2 tbsp Butter
3 cups Chicken Broth more if needed
1/2 lb Spaghetti
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
3/4 cup Heavy Cream
1 1/2 tbsp Dried Parsley

Directions
- Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

- Pour in the chicken broth. Stir in ground black pepper and salt, then bring to a boil, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add spaghetti to the boiling broth, cooking and occasionally stirring until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. If needed, add more broth.
- Mix in Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and dried parsley until the sauce becomes smooth and pasta is well coated. Serve immediately, about 2 minutes.
