Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente (9-11 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for one minute. Stir in heavy cream and milk; bring to a simmer.
Add Velveeta cheese and stir until melted. Incorporate mozzarella and Parmesan until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
