Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be careful not to let it brown.
- Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir continuously to prevent scorching.
- Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Add salt and black pepper to taste. Remember, Parmesan cheese is already salty, so taste as you go to avoid over-salting.
- Let the sauce simmer for a few more minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a bit more cream or a splash of milk.
- Remove from heat and pour over your favourite pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
