Instructions

- Make the sauce. Add butter and cream to a pot. Simmer on low-medium heat for 2 minutes. Add both types of garlic, salt and pepper and simmer for another minute. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time. Mix thoroughly until sauce is uniform. Taste and add additional salt if necessary.

The sauce is best when eaten same day. It will taste the same the next day but will separate.
