Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional, for added warmth)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Melt the butter: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
- Add the cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
- Simmer and thicken: Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve: Remove from heat and toss the sauce with cooked pasta, or drizzle it over your favorite dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish.
