Print Recipe
Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning ( my look up my recipe )
  • 2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • You need to be stirring the entire time, but the sauce only takes a few minutes.
  • Melt the butter and heavy whipping cream on medium-low heat. Cook for 1 minute after the butter is completely melted.
  • Add the garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for another 2 minutes
  • Add your optional ingredients, keep stirring, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the parmesan cheese, and keep stirring until it's melted.
  • If you need to thicken up the sauce, sprinkle 1 tsp of flour and keep stirring.

Notes

Optional things:
  • your pick of herbs like 1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley
  • some chunks of seafood 
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
The parmesan cheese is ideally freshly grated, but this works fine with the store-grated variety.
I used a 5oz can of baby clams in a half batch, and it was a perfect amount.
