Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Homemade Alfredo Sauce is a creamy, rich blend of butter, heavy cream, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This luxurious sauce transforms any pasta dish into a decadent meal, delivering a velvety texture and indulgent flavor that’s easy to prepare at home.
Equipment
- 1 Non-stick saucepan
Ingredients
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ cup butter
- 6 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 package cream cheese
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- In a medium non-stick saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with a whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to eliminate any lumps.
- Incorporate the Parmesan cheese and pepper, then remove the saucepan from heat once the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
- Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken quickly, so if it cooks too long, simply thin it out with a bit more milk.
- Toss the sauce with hot pasta before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the sauce by adding herbs or spices, such as Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley, to enhance the flavor profile according to your taste.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to restore the desired consistency.
