Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  • Slowly pour the heavy cream into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine with the butter and garlic.
  • Bring the cream mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
