Thick, rich, and ultra-creamy, this homemade Alfredo sauce uses a traditional Italian secret (nutmeg!) to take it from good to unforgettable.
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer (lightly bubbling, not a full boil). Cook, whisking often, for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
Then add garlic, cook for 1 minute more. Add the cheese slowly (I recommend doing it in two to three batches) and whisk constantly until melted. If your sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a little extra cream or pasta water. Too thin, add a little more parmesan cheese.
Remove from heat. Whisk in the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the sauce immediately with your favorite pasta and dinner is served!
