3/4 cup heavy cream, milk, or plant-based milk

Instructions

Melt the butter or warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and cook gently for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, without browning.
Slowly whisk in the cream or milk until smooth.
If using cheese, add it gradually and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Season with salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and herbs to taste.
Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring often.
For a smoother texture, blend briefly with an immersion blender if desired.
Use immediately or let cool before storing.

Notes

Cook garlic on low heat to prevent bitterness.

Adjust thickness by simmering longer or adding more milk.

Cheese is optional and can be omitted for a lighter sauce.

Blend for an ultra-silky finish.
