Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare all ingredients. Parmesan cheese is much better if it's freshly grated from a block vs a pre-shredded variety.
  2. Heat heavy whipping cream, parsley garlic salt, and butter in a saucepan until it starts to simmer. Whisk the cream as it simmers, so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
  3. Press garlic into the sauce and cook for another minute. Add Parmesan cheese to the sauce, keep whisking until it completely melts.
  4. Now that the sauce is ready, you can prepare some pasta to go with it. Or, feel free to use it for baking pizza.
