- Garlic Parmesan Fries. Toss freshly made french fries, or serve as as dipper.
- Potatoes. This sauce is great with potato wedges or even creamy mashed potatoes.
- Pasta Sauce. Toss fresh cooked pasta for garlicky goodness.
- Pizza Sauce. Drizzle this over a simple baked pizza crust or flatbread, top with melty cheese and boom! Great for garlic bread, too!
- Chicken or Shrimp. Give a garlic parmesan flavor boost with grilled or pan seared chicken or shrimp.
- Feel free to customize this recipe with other spices of your choosing. Italian seasonings are great.
- Swirl in some heavy cream for a creamy garlic parmesan sauce.
Storage
This recipe will last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat it gently in a sauce pan or small pot to enjoy again, but be careful, as the parmesan cheese can congeal pretty easily.
I do not recommend freezing this sauce.
