Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 ounces heavy cream
1 tablespoon parsley flakes (optional)
2 -3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a medium sized sauce pan sweat the crushed garlic cloves in the butter until light brown and fragrant.
  • Add the heavy cream and parsley to the garlic and butter, mix to combine. (It may take some time for the mixture to come together).
  • Turn the heat to medium and reduce the cream by 1/3 to 1/2 depending on how thick you like the sauce.
  • When the cream has reduced turn the heat down to medium low and add the cheese. Mix to combine, sauce will thicken substansually. (If you heat is too hot the cheese will break and you will have a grainy sauce.).
  • Keep over medium low heat for 2-5 minutes until combined, serve over cooked pasta, chicken or use as a dipping sauce for freshly baked french bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and good-quality butter will make a big difference in the flavor of your Alfredo sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Alfredo sauce is best when it is cooked just until it is thickened and creamy. Overcooking will make it grainy and oily.
  • Add the cheese gradually: Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce gradually, stirring constantly, to prevent it from clumping.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. A little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder can go a long way.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from pasta to chicken to vegetables. With its rich, creamy flavor and smooth texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give Alfredo sauce a try!
