Creamy Garlic Penne Pasta

SO in my last post- I talked about how I TRY and cook low carb, and my next recipe is all about pasta!! A little ironic...
I made this one night when I had NO idea what to make for dinner, and I just happened to have all of the ingrediants on hand. It was very simple, and very good. The flavors are pretty mild- so I think it would be pretty kid friendly. I'll find out in about a year when my baby can actually start eating "people food." :)
