Total Time: 10 minutes | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a medium pan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. 
   
2. Once the butter has melted, incorporate the cream, stirring the mixture frequently. 
   
3. Once the butter and cream mixture starts to bubble, allow it to cook for another 5 minutes. Keep stirring regularly to prevent it from scalding. 
   
4. When the mixture thickens slightly, turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan, salt and pepper. Serve over cooked pasta.
