Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Let it come to a simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent boiling.
Whisk in the tomato paste until fully incorporated, giving the sauce its signature rose color.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine all the flavors evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh chopped basil leaves, reserving some for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately over your favorite keto pasta alternative or as a topping for grilled vegetables or chicken. Enjoy the creamy, flavorful touch of this keto-friendly rose sauce!
