Kids love pasta! This is a quick and easy dish to make, and it is gluten free for those with a wheat allergy or intolerance. Using whole milk will add extra calories if needed.

2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp minced garlic from jar)
1 tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch
3/4 cup chicken broth or 3/4 cup beef broth
3/4 cup milk (whole milk if additional calories needed)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Cook the penne as directed. Drain, and keep hot.
Melt butter in a medium sauce pan.
Add garlic and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add arrowroot or corn starch and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the broth and milk, stirring frequently, until sauce boils and thickens.
