Ingredients (2 servings): 50 g butter 100 g heavy cream (at least 30% fat) 50 g Parmesan cheese (grate it very finely) Spices ⅙ teaspoon nutmeg ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (substitute with black pepper if you want) Method: 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - Before You Start Take the butter, cream, and Parmesan out of the fridge about 15 minutes before cooking. Cold ingredients make it harder to get a smooth sauce. Cut the butter into small pieces so it melts evenly. Grate the Parmesan very finely. The finer it is, the smoother your sauce will be. 00:58 - Cooking the Sauce (6–7 minutes) Set a pan over medium heat. If your stove has numbers, use about 5 out of 9. Add the butter to the pan and stir as it melts. Keep stirring so it melts evenly. Once the butter has melted, pour in the cream. Stir until fully combined. Add the spices and keep stirring. Do not let the sauce boil. As soon as you see gentle steam, move to the next step. 01:39 - Adding the Cheese Lower the heat to the lowest setting. If your stove has numbers, use 1 out of 9. If the pan feels too hot, lift it off the heat for a short moment. Add the Parmesan in 3–4 small batches. Stir until each addition fully melts before adding more. Stir gently until the sauce turns smooth and creamy. Final Tips Never let the sauce boil. Boiling will cause the sauce to split. When the sauce is smooth and creamy, remove it from the heat. The sauce may look thin at first. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken naturally. After 10 minutes, it will thicken even more.
