Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. Pour in the heavy cream and add the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to bubble.

3. Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce thickens.

4. Stir in the chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Remove from heat and let the sauce stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

To reheat, gently warm the sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until heated through. Avoid boiling to maintain the creamy texture.
