Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (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 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and stir until fully combined with the butter.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the cream mixture warm up, but do not let it boil.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts smoothly into the sauce.
Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), stirring to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Continue to cook the sauce, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the pan from heat and taste to adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve immediately over your low-carb dish of choice. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
