Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves to prepare them for the sauce.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and soft. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the cream cheese to the saucepan and stir continuously until the cheese is melted and smooth.

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue to whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and incorporated.

Step 7

Add the salt and black pepper to the sauce, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it does not boil, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired thickness.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately over your favorite dish, such as pasta, steamed vegetables, or grilled chicken, and enjoy!
