PREP TIME COOK TIME TOTAL TIME

10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes

Ingredients
2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely grated Asiago cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer
to 12-15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced some.
3. Slowly add the cheeses while whisking to combine. Whisk in the pepper and nutmeg.

Make ahead tip

1. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. Use the sauce within 4
days.
2. Reheat the sauce over low heat when ready to use. It will be quite thick when cold but will loosen
as it warms up. If needed, add a few tablespoons of cream to thin it out.

Notes
Tips & Tricks

Keep whisking! Don't stop whisking until the pot leaves the stove.
Use fresh cheese and grate it yourself. The finer you grate it, the easier it will melt.
