1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup of beef broth

3 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
In a large oven proof skillet, melt butter with the onions until lightly caramelized, then add in the fresh garlic and saute for about 1 minute on medium heat.
