Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce [0000528]

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Stir in the ground white pepper, salt, and nutmeg. These spices add depth and flavor to the sauce.

If you desire a thicker sauce, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk vigorously to combine. This step is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened to your liking. Keep stirring to prevent sticking.

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for a minute.
