Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic ( about 2 large cloves, minced)
1/8-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme ( rubbed between your fingers to release the flavor)
2 tablespoons flour ( for a slightly thicker sauce increase to 2-1/2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 cups 18% table cream ( can use half-and-half cream)
1/2 cup heavy 35% cream
1/2-3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
seasoning salt (to taste) or white salt ( to taste)
fresh ground black pepper ( to taste)
Directions:
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.
Add in the garlic and thyme; whisk for about 2 minutes (if your garlic is chopped instead of finely minced cook for 3 minutes watching closely not to burn the garlic).
Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
Add in table cream and heavy whipping cream; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes (do not allow to boil rapidly).
Continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes over low heat stirring continuously until bubbly and thickened.
Mix in the Parmesan cheese; stir to melt the cheese (about 2 minutes).
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve over pasta and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
*Note* This sauce is best if eaten right away as it will become thicker upon standing.
