Ingredients

4 servings

•

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
•

2 cloves garlic, minced
•

0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
•

0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
•

1 pinch ground nutmeg

•

1 cup heavy cream
•

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
•

0.33 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
•

0.33 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
•

chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Once butter is foamy, add garlic, pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Gradually whisk in cream, stirring constantly, to incorporate cream into butter. Drizzle in lemon juice, then add lemon zest, while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until sauce coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in grated Pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve garnished with parsley.
