Rich and creamy! I have found that Parmesan cheese doesn't melt well, and often substitute Gruyere cheese.

Steps:
- In a medium sized sauce pan sweat the crushed garlic cloves in the butter until light brown and fragrant.
- Add the heavy cream and parsley to the garlic and butter, mix to combine. (It may take some time for the mixture to come together).
- Turn the heat to medium and reduce the cream by 1/3 to 1/2 depending on how thick you like the sauce.
- When the cream has reduced turn the heat down to medium low and add the cheese. Mix to combine, sauce will thicken substansually. (If you heat is too hot the cheese will break and you will have a grainy sauce.).
- Keep over medium low heat for 2-5 minutes until combined, serve over cooked pasta, chicken or use as a dipping sauce for freshly baked french bread.
TO DIE FOR FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This is a recipe that I created by modifying my mother's recipe. My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time! I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish. I must warn you, this recipe is not for the health conscious. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
- Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Use fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese, and make sure the butter is unsalted.
- Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can burn easily, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Just a minute or two is enough to bring out its flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Stir the sauce constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan and burning.
- Add the cheese gradually. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
