Ingredients
– 1/2 cup butter
– 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic
– 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
– Butter creates a rich, smooth base
– Heavy cream adds creaminess and thickness
– Freshly grated parmesan delivers cheesy flavor and melt
Instructions
1-First, add the butter and heavy cream to a large skillet and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes, making sure it does not boil. This gentle heat helps blend the flavors without separating the mixture. Once it’s warmed, you’re ready for the next step.
2-Second, whisk in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper; keep whisking for one minute to cook the garlic and release its aroma. This step adds depth and prevents any raw garlic taste from lingering.
3-Third, stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce turns smooth. Stirring helps everything combine evenly, creating that signature creamy texture. If the sauce seems too thin, let it stand for 2-3 minutes to thicken naturally.
4-Finally, serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta or vegetables. The whole process takes just 10 minutes, with 5 minutes for prep and 5 for cooking, making it perfect for busy evenings.
