Ingredients

8 ounces pasta of choice I used fettucine
¼ cup unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup all purpose flour
1.5 cups no-salt-added chicken stock
¾ cup whole milk
⅓ cup parmesan cheese see note below
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend no salt added

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned. Add in the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well combined. Pour in the chicken stock, and stir again for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the whole milk, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings to the pan. Stir well.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, and heat until the pasta is warmed through and the sauce is bubbling. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice.
Toss with fresh parsley, and add pepper if desired. Serve immediately!

Notes
