In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't brown.

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the saucepan. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring regularly until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Serve the sauce warm over your favorite wings, pasta, or as a dipping sauce. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.

Adjust the garlic amounts based on your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.

For a slightly spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

This sauce can also be used as a drizzle for pizzas or tossed with roasted vegetables for added flavor.
