Alfredo Sauce Recipe
fromselfproclaimedfoodie.comselfproclaimedfoodie.com/alfredo-sauce
Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy white sauce made with garlic, butter, heavy cream, and parmesan. This savory cheesy sauce infuses garlic into the butter and can be used with all kinds of pasta or even on top of vegetables. This recipe is different, I dare say better, than an alfredo sauce recipe with cream cheese.
Ingredients
Instructions
Add 4 tablespoons butter and 4 cloves garlic (minced) to a sauté pan and heat over low heat. Allow to cook until the butter is infused with the garlic, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, stir, and allow to come to a gentle simmer. Increase heat slightly, if needed. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and immediately add in 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese. (Note: the parmesan will easily melt if it was finely grated from a block. If you used pre-grated cheese that is thicker, you may have to continue heating over low heat to get it to melt.) Stir to combine. It will take several minutes for the cheese to melt. It will look goopy at first (especially if you used pre-grated cheese) and then the sauce will be creamy and smooth. If sauce needs to be thinned, add additional heavy cream.
To serve, toss with tossed pasta or use to cover vegetables.
