Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Don't brown it!
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and heat and stir over medium-high heat until it is hot and bubbles are forming around the edges of the pot. But don't boil it.
  • Stir in the parmesan until melted and creamy.
  • Serve with 12 ounces bowtie pasta, peas, and ham for an incredible meal!

Notes

Grating your own parmesan will result in a creamier sauce. All the same, I often use pre-shredded parmesan because this meal is about speed and ease. I don't mind bits of cheese.
