  1. Cook the rotini pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
