If you're a big fan of classic comfort food, you'll love this homemade Alfredo sauce recipe! It uses only 6 ingredients, takes 10 minutes to make, and is perfect on anything from fettuccine to chicken or shrimp.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half and half for a lighter sauce)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer (lightly bubbling, not a full boil). Cook, whisking often, for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.

  2. 2

    Then add garlic, cook for 1 minute more. Add the cheese slowly (I recommend doing it in two to three batches) and whisk constantly until melted. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

  3. 3

    If your sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra cream or pasta water. Toss in your favorite pasta and dinner is served!
