- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 3
Pour in the lemon juice and add the grated lemon zest, stirring to combine with the garlic butter.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, maintaining a gentle simmer to prevent the sauce from curdling.
Step 5
Gradually add the parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted into the mixture.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, continuing to stir until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve warm drizzled over your choice of keto-friendly dishes.
