Directions
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add the crushed garlic and sauté until fragrant and just starting to brown, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add heavy cream to the pan and bring to a simmer. Gently cook cream over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Make sure the temperature stays low enough that the cream does not boil over.
- Carefully pour the cooked garlic cream into the Vitamix container. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt (if using), and black pepper. Secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 15–20 seconds, or until smooth.

Chef's Note
- If making this recipe with pasta, add a splash of starchy pasta water to the blend to help the sauce bind to the cooked pasta. This sauce can be kept refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring in a small amount of milk or cream to prevent separation.
