Rich and Creamy Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream (not milk)
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (off the block)
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- Fresh minced parsley to taste
- 16 ounces cooked fettuccine (or other pasta)
Preparation
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn.
Whisk in heavy cream and allow to bubble up to a simmer, then simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Vigorously whisk in the parmesan until melted and bring to a simmer - do not boil - for about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
Add fresh cracked black pepper to taste and toss with fresh, hot pasta. Garnish with fresh minced parsley.
