Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream, or half and half for a lighter sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Grab a block of cheese and grate that stuff!)
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- OPTIONAL: Mushrooms
Directions
-
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer (lightly bubbling, not a full boil). Cook, whisking often, for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
-
Then add garlic, cook for 1 minute more. Add the cheese slowly (divide into thirds) and whisk constantly until melted. Add salt and pepper, to taste. (If your sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra cream or pasta water.)
- (Optional) Sautee your mushrooms in a separate pan, and add into the sauce.
