Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 4

Let the cream mixture heat up for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it boil.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, a small handful at a time, until it fully melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Serve immediately over cooked pasta, vegetables, or grilled proteins, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
