    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and mince the garlic.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    3

    Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Simmer over low heat until slightly thickened.

    4

    Add the chopped basil and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the basil to infuse the sauce with its aroma.

    5

    Grate the Parmesan cheese into the sauce and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

    6

    Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a drizzle of olive oil for a richer texture.

    7

    Serve warm over pasta, grilled meats, or fish. The sauce is best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
