BEST EVER ALFREDO SAUCE
I made this recipe up. I like it and so does the rest of my family. It goes great with either chicken or shrimp. It doesn't have as much butter as other alfredo sauces. I tried to make it a little healthier.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use real butter, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream.
- Cook the sauce slowly over low heat: This will help the flavors to develop and prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Don't boil the sauce: Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle. Bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the cheese gradually: Whisking the cheese into the sauce slowly will help to prevent it from clumping.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good as it is fresh.
