Orecchiette Pasta w/Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients:
• 2 tbs butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup cream
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• ½ cup parmesan
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ salt
• Pinch of cayenne

Directions:

1. In a pot over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the beer, cream and lemon juice; reduce heat to maintain a simmer. About a tablespoon at a time, add the Parmesan, stirring until melted before adding more.
