Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic press
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese*
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano**
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (you need about 1 small lemon for that)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter in a skillet or saucepan.
  2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add chicken broth, cream and Parmesan. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens (about 4 minutes).
  4. Stir in the oregano and the lemon zest.

Notes

  • *You can use freshly grated or pre-grated Parmesan cheese for this recipe. (Pre-grated Parmesan from the refrigerated section or the shelf-stable, bottled product work equally well.)
  • **If you have fresh oregano on hand, use 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano instead.
  • Storage: Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge. Gently re-heat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
