Creamy Garlic Pasta

This was super good and super easy! You don't even have to drain the noodles...

Creamy Garlic Pasta
2 tsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
¼  tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
3 cups chicken stock
½ lb spaghetti or angel hair pasta
1 cup grated parmesan cheese (Pretty sure I didn't use this much)
¾ cup heavy cream (I just used milk and I'm pretty sure I didn't use this much, but cream would just be that much better!)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (I didn't use fresh)
Any vegetables or meat you desire to add (I added spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and summer squash...excellent combination!)

In a pot, bring the olive oil to medium-low heat. Add the garlic and stir, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes. Mix in the butter until melted. Add the salt, pepper and chicken stock. Raise the heat to high and let it come to a boil. 
Once it is at a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook for as long as the box’s directions indicate. Reduce the stove to medium heat and mix in the parmesan until completely melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream and parsley. Serve immediately.
