Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves finely minced
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
4 ounces cream cheese softened and sliced into tablespoons
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the butter to a large skillet and allow it to melt over medium heat.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
Add the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Whisk continuously until the cream cheese melts completely.
Once the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Add the mozzarella cheese and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Serve with pasta and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh garlic and grate the parmesan cheese yourself! It makes such a huge difference.
The longer the sauce sits, the thicker it becomes. If the sauce is too rich and creamy for your liking, add a splash of warm pasta cooking water to thin it out.
I love to add squeeze some lemon juice over the pasta after serving. It adds amazing flavor!
