2
Start with your stovetop on medium high.
-
3
Toss the stick of unsalted butter in a saucepan (try not to think about the fact that its an entire stick of butter).
-
4
Its important to use unsalted butter because the cheese in this recipe has a large amount of salt in it.
-
5
Melt butter.
-
6
Do not boil.
-

Once the butter is thoroughly melted, add the minced garlic and let it saute until soft and highly fragrant.
-
9
Now, I am a garlic freak.
-
10
I generally err on the side of too much... and then add 3 more cloves.
-
11
So please feel free to use as much or as little as you like.
-
12
Personally, I think the garlic is absolutely integral to the yumminess factor, but you might feel differently.
-
13
Reduce the heat if you need to.
-
14
Do not let the garlic brown too much/burn.
-

16
Once youve got your garlic nice and soft, add half the white wine and stir.
-
17
Give it a good 90 seconds to let the flavours incorporate.

Now were going to add the cream 2 cups!
-
20
Stir to combine all the ingredients.
-
21
Now you want the whole thing to really warm through.
-
22
Keep the stove on medium high heat and stir every 45 seconds to a minute.
-
23
Do not let the sauce boil.
-
24
At all.
-
25
Ever.
-
26
Turn the heat down if your sauce cant take it.
-
27
Give it maybe 5 minutes or so.
-

Add the other 1/2 of the white wine and stir through.

6.
-
31
Start adding in your finely grated parmesan cheese.
-
32
Any hard Italian cheese will do.
-
33
The cheese quality will lend itself to your sauces overall flavour... so steer clear from the green-can Kraft sort.
-
34
Add it slowly so it has time to melt.
-
35
This will thicken the sauce.
-
36
I usually use about a cup and a half.
-

-
38
Time to season!
-
39
I always use a lot of white pepper, freshly cracked black pepper, and occasionally a little salt.
-
40
I also use any fresh herbs I happen to have on hand.
-
41
Basil, oregano, parlsey, etc.
-
42
Taste it a few times through this process to fine tune your flavor.
-
43
8.
-
44
Toss the sauce up with your favorite al dente cooked cut pasta.
-
45
Feel free to add chicken, prawns, fresh steamed veggies, or whatever else you fancy to make it a meal.
-
46
Also, it makes a great pizza sauce if youre into that.
