How To Make Alfredo Sauce

To make Alfredo sauce, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
3. Stir in the heavy cream and let it come to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Continue to cook and stir until the cheese is fully melted into the sauce.
5. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt, as Parmesan cheese is already salty.
6. If desired, mix in chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
7. Serve the Alfredo sauce over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. It pairs well with chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
