- 1 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 cups chicken broth

- Once the garlic has softened, stir in the Italian seasoning, onion powder, and chicken broth. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese has completely melted into the sauce. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
