Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 head roasted garlic *see note #1
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated is best
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, more or less, depending on your tastes
To thicken
- 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
Prepare
- Remove cloves of roasted garlic from the head and mash with a fork until smooth and pasty. This can also be done in a food processor if you'd like.
Make sauce
- In a medium saucepan over MED-LOW heat, add butter and melt.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream and roasted garlic paste. Stir and heat to a simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth.
Thicken
- In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream and 2 tsp cornstarch (or flour), and whisk until smooth.
- Add the cornstarch and heavy cream mixture (it will be a thick paste-like consistency), whisking as you add it to remove any lumps and fully incorporate it into the sauce.
- Continue to whisk and simmer until sauce has thickened to a classic cream sauce consistency. This may take a few minutes, or it could happen quicker, it all depends on your stovetop and saucepan.
Notes
- Here's a handy guide for roasting garlic.
- Feel free to substitute an equal amount of all purpose flour in place of the cornstarch.
- Recipe makes approximately 2 - 2 1/2 cups of sauce.
