Step 1

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

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the cream mixture warm up, but do not let it boil.

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts smoothly into the sauce.

Step 6

Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), stirring to evenly incorporate the seasonings.

Step 7

Continue to cook the sauce, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
