Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Melt the butter
- Place butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted. Do not let it brown.
Add minced garlic
- Add garlic to the melted butter. Cook for one minute. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
Pour in heavy cream
- Slowly add heavy cream while whisking. Heat gently until the mixture starts to simmer.
Add Parmesan cheese
- Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously until cheese melts completely.
Season with salt and pepper
- Add salt, black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Simmer gently
- Reduce heat to low. Let sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir constantly for smooth texture.
Finish with parsley
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness and color.
Serve immediately
- Toss sauce with cooked pasta or use as topping for chicken, shrimp or vegetables.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor. Pre-grated cheese may not melt smoothly.
- Avoid boiling the cream; high heat can separate the sauce.
- Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or mushrooms for a complete meal.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Stir constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy consistency.
