Ingredients:
- 1 cup real butter
- 3 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
-
Saute Garlic: In a saucepan, melt the real butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until golden brown, ensuring not to scorch it.

Add Anchovies: Once the garlic is lightly browned, add in the anchovy fillets to the saucepan. Allow them to cook for a minute or two, breaking them apart with a spoon until they start to dissolve into the butter.

Incorporate Cream: Pour in the cream, stirring gently to combine it with the butter and anchovies. Let the mixture simmer gently.
-
Prepare Thickener: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 cup of cream until smooth.
-
Thicken Mixture: Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Serve Warm: Transfer the creamy Bagna Cauda to a fondue pot to keep it warm throughout your gathering.
