Kittencal'S Alfredo Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 2 large cloves, minced)
    1/8 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (rubbed between your fingers to release the flavor)
    2 tablespoons flour (for a slightly thicker sauce increase to 2-1/2 tablespoons)
    1 1/2 cups 18% table cream (can use half-and-half cream)
    1/2 cup heavy 35% cream
    1/2 - 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
    seasoning salt (to taste) or white salt (to taste)
    fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Preparation
    In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat.
    Add in the garlic and thyme; whisk for about 2 minutes (if your garlic is chopped instead of finely minced cook for 3 minutes watching closely not to burn the garlic).
    Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
    Add in table cream and heavy whipping cream; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes (do not allow to boil rapidly).
    Continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes over low heat stirring continuously until bubbly and thickened.
    Mix in the Parmesan cheese; stir to melt the cheese (about 2 minutes).
    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
    Serve over pasta and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
    *Note* This sauce is best if eaten right away as it will become thicker upon standing.
