  3. Gradually whisk in 3 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
