Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • Begin by finely mincing the garlic cloves to release their flavorful oils. Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it’s bubbly but not browned, about 1-2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream, stirring well with a whisk. Allow to gently simmer over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is thick and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired thickness, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately over pasta, pizza, or as a dip for fresh veggies.

Notes

For maximum flavor, use fresh garlic and freshly grated Parmesan. Simmer gently to maintain the creamy texture. Adjust consistency with milk or broth as needed.
