      Alfredo sauce is a classic Italian-inspired cream sauce that’s rich, velvety, and full of flavor. Made with butter, cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, it’s a versatile addition to pasta, chicken dishes, or even as a dipping sauce. With this simple recipe, you can skip the jarred versions and enjoy the freshness of homemade Alfredo sauce.

       

       

      Equipment:

      • Medium saucepan
      • Whisk
      • Measuring cups and spoons
      • Wooden spoon

      Ingredients:

      • ½ cup unsalted butter
      • 2 cups heavy cream
      • 3 garlic cloves, minced
      • 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
      • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
      • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
      • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
      • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

       

       

      Instructions:

      1. Melt the Butter:
        • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
      2. Add the Garlic:
        • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
      3. Stir in the Cream:
        • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3–4 minutes.
      4. Add the Parmesan Cheese:
        • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
      5. Season the Sauce:
        • Add salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
      6. Serve:
        • Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked pasta, chicken, or vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

      Tips:

      • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and a smoother sauce. Pre-shredded cheese may not melt as evenly.
      • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of milk or pasta cooking water.
      • Alfredo sauce is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a bit of cream to restore the consistency.
