Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 5 ounces parmesan grated
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan. Add garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour the heavy cream into the pan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Make sure to stir often so the cream doesn’t burn.
- Stir in the Parmesan and nutmeg and continue to cook until it thickens, approximately 8-10 minutes. You will know it is ready when the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of your spoon.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and add to your meal or let cool completely if you are saving for later.
