Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, salt, and pepper until the cheese melts and the sauce is completely smooth. Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, or vegetables.

Notes

The sauce will thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick, whisk in a splash of warm milk or pasta water to loosen it back to a pourable consistency.
