Creamy garlic butter sauce served
Luxurious garlic butter sauce with fresh parsley

Indulgent garlic & herb butter sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
This is the 'guilty pleasure' category: the holy trinity of butter, cream and cheese. The sharpness of the garlic disappears in the fat, leaving only its sweet, aromatic taste. Not diet-friendly, but sometimes the soul needs to eat too. Works with steak, or simply poured over pasta.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the garlic and the cheese. Chop the parsley.

Tip: Grated garlic disperses better in the sauce than chopped.
2 ✓

Melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the garlic, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Tip: Do not let it brown, or it will be bitter.
3 ✓

Pour over the cream, and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Tip: The water evaporates, the fat emulsifies.
4 ✓

Reduce the heat to minimum. Stir in the cheese until melted.

Tip: The cheese thickens the sauce finally.
5 ✓

Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the parsley at the end.

Tip: The freshness of the parsley cuts through the rich fattiness.

Recipe FAQ

It became too thick.
Parmesan absorbs a lot of liquid. Loosen with a little milk or pasta cooking water.
Can I use garlic powder?
In an emergency yes, but fresh garlic essential oils give that real 'kick' that makes this sauce good.
