Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Once the butter has fully melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until aromatic. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3

Slowly add the heavy cream to the saucepan, whisking continuously to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, about 1/2 cup at a time, until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
