Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and soft, but do not let it brown.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine with the garlic and butter mixture.
Raise the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Continue to cook the sauce on low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the sauce from the heat. Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, or vegetables. Enjoy!
