Cook the garlic for 1 minute, then pour in the broth. Let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Next, add the half-and-half, cream and some salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan, whisking constantly until it's all combined. Allow the liquid to heat up and thicken for a few minutes. If it gets too thick, you may thin it with a little chicken broth.

Steps:

• Make the dressing by blending the first ten ingredients in a food processor or blender until emulsified. Stir in cilantro and red pepper. Taste and add salt if desired. Make in advance, if possible, and store in refrigerator to blend flavors. The dressing will thicken once chilled, but will still coat the salad easily and evenly when tossed.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. While it's still boiling and about one minute away from being done, add broccoli slaw and matchstick carrots (along with any other veggies to be blanched such as snow peas or small broccoli florets) to the cooking pot. Bring back to a boil for no more than one minute in order to blanch the veggies and finish cooking the pasta, then drain and rinse both under cold water. This process enhances color and flavor while keeping the veggies crisp-tender.
