Gather all your ingredients. Finely chop garlic and measure out cream and cheese. Boil water for pasta.

Add salt to boiling water and cook the pasta shells for 11-13 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet, add garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in cream and stir well. Add Parmesan and mix until smooth.

Add cooked pasta shells to the sauce and stir to coat. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.

Optionally, transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese, and broil for 3-5 minutes until golden.
