Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves finely and grate the Parmesan cheese if it is not pre-grated.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring to combine.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next. Continue stirring to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

If using, chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the sauce for a touch of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently over low heat.
