Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • (Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously.

  4. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

  7. Serve immediately over warm pasta, steamed vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For the best texture and flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-packaged.

  • Avoid high heat to prevent the sauce from curdling.

  • This sauce thickens as it cools—add a splash of pasta water or cream to loosen if needed.
