Add garlic and cook until sizzling. Stir in the dry pasta. Toss to coat.
Pour in the chicken broth. Cover. Bring to a boil, checking every few minutes for an al dente texture (about 8-10 minutes). Most of the broth should be absorbed by the pasta.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream and salt. Finish by stirring in the butter and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
