# Instructions:

01 - Combine all dried herbs, spices, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
02 - Measure and organize all remaining ingredients to facilitate an efficient workflow.
03 - Add 3 tablespoons butter to a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and seasoning blend. Stir constantly until the butter begins to foam, ensuring garlic does not brown.
04 - Incorporate chicken broth, half and half, soy sauce, and bouillon cube into the pot. Increase heat to achieve a boil, then add shellbow pasta. Return to a low boil and cook uncovered, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula to prevent pasta from sticking, until pasta is al dente per package instructions.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and integrated. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, mixing well.
06 - Add reserved 1 tablespoon butter, cover the pot, and allow it to melt. Gently fold the melted butter into the pasta before serving immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan and measure out ingredients before starting for smooth preparation.
