Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be careful not to brown it.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let the mixture heat up but do not let it boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, and begin adding the cheeses one at a time. Start with the Parmesan cheese, followed by the Pecorino Romano, Gruyère, and Mozzarella. Stir well after each addition to ensure the cheese fully melts and incorporates into the sauce.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer on low for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, or use as a base for other dishes like chicken Alfredo or vegetable casseroles.
