Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
Add in the cream cheese and stir until it has fully melted into the cream mixture.
Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly and doesn’t clump.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
Continue to simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Be careful not to let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce rest for 1-2 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve immediately over gluten-free pasta, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dish, and garnish with fresh parsley if using.
