Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
  • 2 oz (56g) cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) white pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and translucent, ensuring it does not brown.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and whisk in the salt, white pepper, and ground nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and maintain for exactly 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the cubed cream cheese until it is completely dissolved into the sauce.
  4. Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese one handful at a time, whisking constantly until the sauce is velvety and glossy. Remove from heat immediately once the cheese has melted.
