Creamy Garlic Sauce

Garlic cream sauce makes a great weeknight meal. This creamy garlic cream sauce is rich and flavorful and can be made in under 20 minutes. This creamy garlic white sauce is made with just a few ingredients and will be a delicious sauce you love to put on everything.

This garlic cream sauce has become a family favourite. Even picky eaters will love it. It can also be made quickly with only a few ingredients.

I’m not a low-carb, keto girl. I love the taste of perfectly cooked pasta smothered with creamy Alfredo Sauce. This garlic cream sauce is more garlicky and adds fresh parsley to make it different from traditional Alfredo.

This lemon pepper garlic cream recipe will give you a brighter and lighter flavour.

This garlic cream sauce, Alfredo, or this lemon pepper garlic cream cheese all add elegance, decadence, and deliciousness to pasta, grilled chicken, or sautéed shrimp. This sauce is so delicious you will want it on everything.

This dish serves as-is over pasta with a lightly dressed mixed green salad.

You can toss the pasta with cooked vegetables to make a vegetarian dish. I love it with green beans, shelled legumes, and sliced zucchini.

Let’s talk about the shapes of pasta for a second. Cavatappi is the corkscrew shape of pasta, as shown in these photos. They are my favourite pasta to use with this sauce. It’s about how the ridges and curves hold onto the sauce.

Cavatappi is not available in your area. I also love fettucine (thick ribbons) and rigatoni (short thick tubes).

This garlic cream sauce will make any pasta you like even better.

Ingredients

This creamy, rich pasta sauce uses ingredients you already have at home.

Butter Yes. Yes.

Garlic Cloves I prefer fresh peeled garlic to cook with, but you can use pre-minced garlic from a jar.

All-purpose flour – A little bit to thicken the sauce.

Half and one. I know you don’t want to use milk or any substitute, but please do not. This is much more delicious than the real thing.

Parmesan Cheese – A little, but a lot for a rich flavor. Fresh grated – either grate it yourself or purchase grated cheese from the dairy section, not the pasta aisle.

Parsley — More than just for garnish.

Seasoning Salt and pepper to your taste

How to make Garlic Cream Sauce

This creamy sauce can be made quickly on the stovetop.

Saute the garlic. Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant for about 30 seconds.

Prepare a roux. Stir in the flour and cook for approximately 1 minute until lightly browned.

Mix the cream—season with Salt and pepper.

Add the cheese. Stir the Parmesan and parsley, and then turn off the heat.

Substitutions

Half and half – You can make this sauce with heavy cream, but whole milk makes it thicker and more decadent.

Garlic won’t taste like garlic cream sauce, but you can substitute finely chopped shallot if you have gone wrong.

Variations

For a brighter sauce, try my lemon pepper garlic cream sauce. This sauce is delicious and has a little bit of lemon and pepper.

Storage

After cooking, you should serve this sauce immediately. It will only keep for a short time.

Tips

For best results, serve immediately. The mixture will thicken even more if it is heated.

Garlic can be overcooked quickly, which will ruin its flavour.
