Ingredients

4 servings

2 tablespoonsunsalted butter

2 clovesgarlic

minced, optional for added flavor

1 cupheavy cream

1 cupparmesan cheese

optional, for depth of flavor

1 tablespoonsparsley

chopped, optional, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1

1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. If using garlic, add it at this stage and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Step 2

2. Add Heavy Cream: Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.

Step 3

3. Incorporate Parmesan: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.

Step 4

4. Season: Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5

5. Serve Immediately: Toss with your favorite pasta (fettuccine works great!) or use as a topping for chicken, shrimp, or vegetables. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Step 6

Tips: Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese may not melt as smoothly. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of milk or reserved pasta water.
