Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and starting to bubble slightly.

Step 2

2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.

Step 3

3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and let it come to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

4. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, allowing it to melt into the sauce completely before adding more.

Step 5

5. Once all the cheese has been incorporated, season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and grated nutmeg (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 6

6. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has slightly thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7

7. Remove the sauce from the heat. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side for sprinkling.
