EASY MICROWAVE ALFREDO SAUCE
Taken from "Micro Ways" cookbook written by my good friend Norene Gilletz at Gourmaia.com --- there's enough sauce to combine with 1 pound of noodles, if you are doubling this recipe make it separately not in the same pyrex cup --- follow microwave times and you will have a perfect alfredo sauce, the Parmesan cheese may be increase to taste -- this will separate if heated the following day so I suggest to use it all at one time.

Tips:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-grated cheese contains cellulose, which can make the sauce grainy. - If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk and butter instead. For each cup of heavy cream, use 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of butter. - To make a vegan Alfredo sauce, use unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk instead of heavy cream, and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese. - Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the sauce for a more complete meal. - Serve Alfredo sauce over pasta, rice, or vegetables. - If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or water to thin it out. - If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to thicken it up. - Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. - Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Conclusion:
Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With these tips, you can make a perfect Alfredo sauce every time.
