Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream See Note 1
- 2.5 oz Parmesan Cheese finely grated (I use a microplane, or Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg freshly grated
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet (cast iron type) over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- To the skillet, whisk in the heavy cream until combined, then simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk in the freshly grated cheese, kosher salt, white and black peppers and nutmeg. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve immediately over pasta of choice, sauteed chicken, steamed vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
- Store in a covered container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Substitutes for heavy cream: * half and half (equal parts whole milk and cream)* evaporated milk* 3 parts whole milk and 1 part melted butter* equal parts whole milk and Greek yogurt, whisked together
