Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 2 large cloves, minced)
• 1/8-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (rubbed between your fingers to release the flavor)
• 2 tablespoons flour (for a slightly thicker sauce increase to 2-1/2 tablespoons)
• 1 1/2 cups 18% table cream (can use half-and-half cream)
• 1/2 cup heavy 35% cream
• 1/2-3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• seasoning salt (to taste) or salt (to taste)
• fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.
• 2 add in the garlic and thyme; whisk for about 2 minutes (if your garlic is chopped instead of finely minced cook for 3 minutes watching closely not to burn the garlic).
• 3 add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
• 4 add in table cream and heavy whipping cream; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes (do not allow to boil rapidly).
• 5 continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes over low heat stirring continuously until bubbly and thickened.
• 6 mix in the parmesan cheese; stir to melt the cheese (about 2 minutes).
• 7 season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• 8 serve over pasta and sprinkle with more parmesan cheese.
• 9 *note* this sauce is best if eaten right away as it will become thicker upon standing.
