Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 3 cloves Fresh garlic minced
  • 2 cups Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once it starts to bubble, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Gently pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy—season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, please remove it from the heat and serve over your favorite pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Quality ingredients — A sauce as simple as Alfredo hinges on using high-quality ingredients. Freshly grated cheese and organic heavy cream make a difference.
 
  • Consistent stirring — Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from getting lumpy or sticking to the pan. It's a labor of love, but the result is worth it!
