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:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt, as Parmesan cheese is already salty.
- If desired, mix in chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
- Serve the Alfredo sauce over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. It pairs well with chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
