Garlic Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly bubbly.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add Heavy Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to combine the ingredients smoothly.
  5. Simmer Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it completely melts into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
  7. Season: Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Optional additions like garlic powder, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, or fresh herbs can be added for extra flavor.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the sauce from heat and let it rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Watch the garlic closely during sautéing to prevent burning and bitterness.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to meld flavors without scorching or separating.
  • Adjust the salt and seasoning according to your preference to balance the flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Use the sauce as a dip, drizzle over pizza, or mix with other dishes for added flavor.
