Description

This creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce is a rich and flavorful addition to pasta, pizza, or as a delicious dipping sauce. Made with butter, garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning, this sauce comes together quickly on the stovetop for an indulgent yet simple dish.

Ingredients

Garlic Parmesan Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until it becomes smooth and slightly bubbling, preparing the base for the sauce.
  2. Sauté garlic and seasonings: Add finely minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the melted butter. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Make a roux: Whisk in the flour thoroughly to form a smooth, lump-free paste that will help thicken the sauce.
  4. Pour in broth: Slowly add the chicken broth while continuously whisking to blend the roux into the liquid, ensuring a smooth mixture without lumps.
  5. Simmer the sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  6. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue heating while whisking until the cheese melts fully and the sauce achieves a smooth, creamy consistency.
  7. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and pepper to your preference. Serve immediately over pasta, pizza, or as a delicious dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make it vegetarian-friendly.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer, stirring frequently.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melt.
  • Reheat gently on low heat to prevent sauce from separating.
  • The sauce pairs well with garlic bread, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables.
