Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 ounce cream cheese
5 ounces Pamesan Cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum see notes below
nutmeg to taste

Instructions

Set pan to medium high heat
Add butter then minced garlic. Once garlic has browned lower the heat to medium low and add in cream cheese and parmesan cheese
Continue to stir cream cheese and parmesan until they have both melted evenly. The cream cheese will melt quickly but the parmesan will take longer. It will look like a thick pool of cheese.
Once melted slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring while pouring and making sure it's coming together with the cheese. The thick pool will begin to thin out and resemble an actual sauce.
Remove from heat, add in chopped parsley. In a small bowl to the side add in salt, black pepper and xanthan gum. Mix them together. With the bowl in one hand and a whisk in the other pour in the seasoning and quickly whisk it in. Whisk for about 5 seconds. See notes below.
Lastly, taste for salt and pepper. Grate fresh nutmeg to taste or slowly add in ground nutmeg until desired flavor is reached.

Notes

Xanthan gum does nothing for flavor. However, it keeps the sauce together when you go to reheat it. Mixing with the salt and pepper is important because if you add it alone xanthan gum will clump together. Mixing with something else and then quickly whisking prevents this. Once again, the xanthan gum is not for flavor but stabilization.
