Once-Every-Two-Months Garlic Cream Sauce

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over high heat.

When the pan is pretty hot, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute – literally. You don’t want the garlic to burn. We used 3 cloves of garlic, but we probably should have used 4. I love that stuff!

Add the butter and stir to melt. Then add the heavy cream. Stir well and heat for 5 minutes.

Add the flour. This will help thicken the sauce. Although corn starch could be used instead, I tend to stay away from that unless I absolutely need to use it.

Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Then add the salt and pepper. We used more pepper than salt, but that’s entirely up to you. Add the ground nutmeg, and stir.

At the end of the process, add the grated cheese, stir and then add in the parsley, which will add some green and liven up the dish.

Serve with pasta (we used tortellini) and enjoy!
