Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- Pasta of choice! I love this with DeLallo fettuccine or egg pappardelle – this amount of sauce works well with about 8 ounces of pasta
Steps
-
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Keep the heat very low, and add garlic cloves to butter. Cook until fragrant – about 5 minutes. (If you’re serving this with pasta, start that now! Don’t forget to add a generous pinch of salt to the water!)
-
Remove garlic cloves from the butter. Add heavy cream and broth, and bring to a very gentle simmer. Whisk to incorporate. Simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
-
Add Parmesan to the sauce. Whisk in until fully melted and thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
-
Toss with the pasta and keep over low heat until the sauce is clinging to the pasta the way you want! Or spoon the sauce over a protein and/or veg of choice. SO LUSCIOUS!
