Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons brandy
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a smooth paste (roux), cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the brandy while whisking continuously to deglaze the roux. Cook for about 30 seconds to let the alcohol evaporate slightly.

Step 5

Gradually add the heavy cream while whisking to ensure a smooth consistency. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to whisk until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is thickened and creamy.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, seafood, or vegetables.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and a pop of color.
