garlic cloves, minced
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Optional: pinch of nutmeg (adds a subtle warmth)
Instructions:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. If using garlic, sauté it gently for about 1 minute until fragrant (don’t brown it).
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble for 3–4 minutes, stirring often.
Reduce heat to low, then gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Season with salt, pepper, and a small pinch of nutmeg if using.
