Melt butter in a wide saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for one minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the milk and heavy cream; bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the broccoli, salt, and pepper.

Break the ramen blocks in half and add them directly to the pan. Simmer for three to four minutes, stirring often, until the noodles soften and the broccoli is heated through. Add a splash more milk if the pan gets too dry.

Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until creamy and smooth.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding crushed red pepper if desired. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, if desired, to serve.
