Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.13 teaspoons nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scalding.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, and slowly whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated. The sauce should begin to thicken.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, grilled chicken, or vegetables. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
