Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be careful not to brown it.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let the mixture heat up but do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low, and begin adding the cheeses one at a time. Start with the Parmesan cheese, followed by the Pecorino Romano, Gruyère, and Mozzarella. Stir well after each addition to ensure the cheese fully melts and incorporates into the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Allow the sauce to simmer on low for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, or use as a base for other dishes like chicken Alfredo or vegetable casseroles.
