Step 1

In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan, heat heavy whipping cream over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

When cream just begins to simmer, whisk in the cheese, garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes, sea salt and black pepper. Turn heat to low.

Step 3

When cheese has melted, remove the sauce from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.  Whisk again, just prior to serving.
