Use up leftover noodles by tossing them with this wonderful creamy garlic sauce from Loretta Ruda of Kennesaw, Georgia. "This is my version of several recipes I've tried through the years," she notes. "It is so simple to make." Tip: "Top this dish with broiled shrimp or scallops," she suggests.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cold water
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups cooked linguine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
