Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chicken Knorr seasoning to taste
  • Cooked fettuccine pasta for serving

Method
 

  1. Add the butter and heavy cream to a large skillet over low heat.
  2. Simmer gently for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Whisk in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and Chicken Knorr seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Toss the sauce with cooked fettuccine pasta or serve immediately over pasta of choice.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan, not pre-shredded, for the smoothest sauce.
  • Keep the heat low to prevent the cream from separating.
  • Adjust the Chicken Knorr seasoning slowly—it’s salty.
