  2. 1 (8 oz)cream cheese, softened
  3. 2/3 cupparmesan cheese, fresh if possible
  4. 1 cupmilk
  5. 1 cupheavy cream
  6. 1 clovegarlic
  7. 1/2 tspgarlic powder

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add clove of garlic.

  2. 2

    Add cream cheese a little at a time, whisking constantly. Then mix in the parmesan cheese, a little at a time, and continue whisking the whole time. At this point it may look lumpy and separated but its fine, just keep whisking.

  3. 3

    Mix the milk and cream together and pour in a little at a time. You will see it start to become creamy almost instantly. Add garlic powder, pepper, oregano, and nutmeg if using. KEEP WHISKING!

  4. 4

    Let simmer a few minutes, you guessed it, whisking the whole time. DO NOT BOIL! Don't worry if it seems a bit thin, it thickens quite a bit as it cools.

  5. 5

    Don't forget to remove that garlic clove, and thats it, you're done! toss with hot pasta, and if you like, grilled strips of chicken and a little more parmesan cheese. mangia!
