Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned, to infuse the butter with garlic aroma.
  2. Add Heavy Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low to prevent scorching and allow flavors to meld.
  3. Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy in texture.
  4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning to preference to balance the richness.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the saucepan from heat. Serve the sauce immediately over cooked ravioli and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best melting and flavor results.
  • Do not overheat the sauce to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream, but the sauce will be less rich and thick.
