Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, ensuring it doesn't brown or burn.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release the garlic's aromatic flavors.
- Remove the pan from heat and quickly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is completely incorporated and smooth.
- Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, stirring thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the sauce.
- Allow the sauce to cool for 1-2 minutes, which will help it slightly thicken and develop a more intense flavor profile.
- Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container for storage.
- For best results, use immediately while warm or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Gently reheat before serving if needed.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor - pre-grated cheese can result in a less smooth texture.
- Keep the heat low when melting butter to prevent burning and ensure a silky-smooth sauce.
- Stir constantly when sautéing garlic to prevent it from turning bitter or burning.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider using freshly minced garlic instead of pre-minced.
- If the sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out with a little warm water or milk.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving for the best consistency.
- This versatile sauce works great not just on wings, but as a dip, pasta sauce, or drizzle over roasted vegetables.
