Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg optional
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Melt the Butter:
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add Garlic:
-
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in Cream and Milk:
-
Add the heavy cream and whole milk to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add Cheese:
-
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Season the Sauce:
-
Add salt and pepper to taste. If using, add a pinch of nutmeg for an additional layer of flavor. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve:
-
Remove the sauce from heat. Serve immediately over cooked pasta, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
