Ingredients:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Sauté the Garlic: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter mixture. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Add the Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Thicken the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and incorporates fully into the sauce. This will add richness and depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Season to Taste: Season the garlic cream sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Serve: Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or grilled meats. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. You can adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preferences.
