Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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)

Instruction

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese (if using). Stir over 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 and cook for 1 minute and then add the ingredients from step 1.
  • Reduce heat to low and add in the shredded Parmesan cheese, and continue to whisk until melted.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite pasta.
  • For a very subtle nutty flavor, sprinkle some nutmeg on top before serving.
