Meet your new favorite go-to sauce: Rustic Creamy Garlic Sauce. It's quick to whip up, delightfully creamy, and packed with robust garlic flavor — perfect for elevating any meal.
Butter is the base, giving the sauce its rich, creamy texture. Garlic adds a burst of flavor that’s aromatic and slightly spicy. Heavy cream brings the richness up a notch, creating a silky smooth texture. Parmesan cheese melts perfectly, adding a salty, nutty undertone. A pinch of salt and black pepper balances the flavors, while a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional) adds a pop of color and a fresh finish.
This sauce is a match made in heaven with pasta — think fettuccine or penne. It's also fantastic drizzled over grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. For a low-carb option, try it with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
Start by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once it's fully melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté it for about 1-2 minutes. You'll know it's ready when your kitchen smells amazing, but don't let it brown.
Next, slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. This will help combine it smoothly with the butter and garlic. Once mixed, bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes; this is when all those delicious flavors start to meld together.
After simmering, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until it's completely melted and the sauce is smooth. A good tip is to add the cheese gradually to prevent clumping.
Season your sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Give it a final stir, then remove it from the heat. If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top.
Serve this creamy delight immediately over your dish of choice, and watch it disappear!
