Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon Salted Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic finely grated
  • 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add salted butter to a skillet over medium heat.
  • Once melted, add garlic and stir.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and starting to get tender—do not let it get crispy.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking as you pour, to help emulsify it into the butter.
  • Let the sauce gently bubble and thicken for about 8 minutes or so.
  • Slowly stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese, a little at a time, to create a rich and luscious cream sauce.
  • Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper and let simmer until desired consistency is reached.
  • Remove from heat and use for dipping, for pasta, or as a base for pizzas.
