Ingredients needed
Butter. Fresh garlic cloves. I prefer using fresh garlic but garlic powder can be substituted. Heavy cream/Whipping cream. Parmesan cheese. Use a vegetarian alternative, if preferred. Lemon juice. Freshly squeezed. Salt and black pepper. Optional: Other spices/seasonings like red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, oregano, basil or Italian seasoning can also be added.
How to make garlic Parmesan sauce
Can I make this ahead?
The sauce can be made and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container. Reheat gently with ¼ cup water to prevent the sauce from splitting then serve. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this sauce as cream sauces don’t generally freeze well.
What to serve with garlic Parmesan sauce
This makes a delicious pasta sauce for a quick weeknight dinner or with chicken wings as a dipping sauce (if you love garlic parmesan wings, this sauce is for you!) and it’s also delicious served over vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower.
