Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, basil, and chives) and set them aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the cream starts to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan while stirring constantly until it melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into the sauce. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat once the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.

Step 9

Serve the creamy herb sauce warm, drizzled over your favorite dish.
