Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Stir until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer without boiling, which can take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once the cream is simmering, add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and blends into the sauce smoothly.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, continuing to stir for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
If using parsley for garnish, stir in just before serving, or sprinkle on top of the sauce once served.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Serve hot over your choice of low-carb dish and enjoy!
