How To Make Rosemary Cream Sauce?

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 10–12 minutes

Course: Sauce

Cuisine: American

Yield: About 1 cup (serves 4 as sauce)

Equipment Needed

• Medium saucepan
• Whisk or silicone spatula
• Measuring spoons & cups
• Knife & cutting board (for chopping rosemary, garlic)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth (optional, for thinning)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra richness)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

1: Sauté the Aromatics

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Stir gently for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.

2: Create the Cream Base

Slowly pour in the heavy cream. Let the mixture heat gently without boiling, allowing the cream to thicken slightly and absorb the rosemary’s earthy aroma.

3: Adjust the Consistency

If the sauce feels too thick, whisk in a bit of chicken or vegetable broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

4: Enrich the Flavor

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese (if using) until melted and smooth. The cheese adds a touch of umami and a velvety finish—season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

5: Brighten and Serve

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for a hint of freshness that balances the creaminess. Serve this sauce with your favorite dish.
