I cut my stick of butter into pads just so it melts more evenly and quickly.  I then stir in the garlic.

Once it starts to cook the garlic, I drop in the chicken bouillon cube and shake of cayenne pepper.

After you add the 1 1/2 cups milk you need to let it come back up to a boil.

If you look closely at the picture above you can see how the sauce looks when you stir it.  This is the perfect thickness.  

Remove from heat and add to any pasta or meat and veggies you want to serve it with.  Usually only takes about 10 minutes to make start to finish.  

If you start cooking your pasta, before you start the sauce, they get done right about the same time.  This is a quick and easy meal that everyone loves.
