Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions
- Melt butter in a non-stick straight edged sauté pan (or similar pan) over medium low heat.*
- Once melted, add in garlic, Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and pepper and cook, whisking constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Slowly whisk in the heavy cream.
- Bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the cheese, little by little, until fully melted. Do this slowly to avoid clumping and graininess.

Notes
*If making this in a smaller pan, like a sauce pan (less surface area), you'll likely need to simmer for 10+ minutes to thicken.
