Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Be attentive to prevent the butter from browning.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté it for about 1 minute, until it's fragrant but not browned.
Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Once the Keto Alfredo Sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite keto-friendly pasta or as a topping for grilled chicken or steamed vegetables.
