Instructions

1. 11. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, ensuring it doesn't brown or separate.
2. 22. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not golden, about 30 seconds.
3. 33. Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly to create a smooth base. Bring to a gentle simmer, avoiding boiling.
4. 44. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, creating a silky texture. Stir continuously to prevent clumping.
5. 55. Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until sauce reaches a thick, coating consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
6. 66. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
