Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
Step 4
Add in the cream cheese and stir until it has fully melted into the cream mixture.
Step 5
Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly and doesn’t clump.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
Step 7
Continue to simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Be careful not to let it boil.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce rest for 1-2 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 9
Serve immediately over gluten-free pasta, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dish, and garnish with fresh parsley if using.
