Creamy Italian Cheese Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Melt Butter on the Stove:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied and slightly foamy.

2. Incorporate the Cream Cheese:
- Add the softened cream cheese to the melted butter.
- Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes or until the cream cheese is completely melted and combined with the butter, forming a smooth consistency.

3. Add Parmesan and Romano Cheeses:
- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking gently, until the cheeses melt into the sauce (about 3-4 minutes).

4. Season the Sauce:
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Stir well to integrate the seasoning fully and ensure even flavor distribution.

5. Final Touch:
- Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully and the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Serve:
- The creamy Italian cheese garlic sauce is perfect for drizzling over pasta, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables.
