Instructions

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, or vegetables.

Notes

This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of cream if needed to loosen the sauce.
For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
