Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 ounces cream cheese optional - it makes the sauce creamier
- 1/2 teaspoons fresh garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese (if using). Stir over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes until melted, and it starts to lightly simmer.
- Next, whisk in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for one minute. Note: For extra garlicky flavor, first melt the butter, add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, and then add the ingredients from step 1.
- Reduce heat to low, add the shredded Parmesan cheese, and continue to whisk until melted.
- You can serve immediately with your favorite pasta.
- For a very subtle nutty flavor, sprinkle some nutmeg on top before serving.
