Calories: 1390kcal
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter unsalted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 teaspoon red crushed pepper
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter. As soon as the butter is melted, add the garlic and saute it for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
- Take the skillet off of the heat. Add in the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and salt and pepper.
- Slowly add in the Parmesan until it is all combined.
Notes
- Mince the garlic as finely as possible so it sautes quickly and evenly while releasing tons of flavor.
- Don’t overcook the garlic, or it can start to taste bitter. Pull the skillet off the heat as soon as the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the Parmesan slowly, and after taking the skillet off the heat to prevent it from browning or burning, which will mess with the smooth texture of the sauce.
- Let the sauce cool slightly so it will thicken up before serving it.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat it gently on low power in the microwave or on low on the stove and add a small splash of water or cream to loosen it back up.
