Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the softened cream cheese and whisk until fully melted and combined with the cream.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Continue to stir until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 6

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately over pasta, grilled chicken, or vegetables. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
