Directions:
For pasta:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a large handful of salt and the jumbo shells, stirring

For Alfredo sauce:
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed deep skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add
garlic, and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add heavy cream, stir, then whisk in parmesan cheese until
melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
