In a big frying pan, melt the butter on medium heat. Toss in the garlic and let it cook until it smells amazing. Mix in the heavy cream, buffalo sauce, and the Italian seasoning. Let it bubble gently for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Slowly sprinkle in the Parmesan and mozzarella. Stir constantly until the cheese melts and you end up with a super smooth, creamy sauce.
