EASY MICROWAVE ALFREDO SAUCE



Easy Microwave Alfredo Sauce image

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.

Time 13m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter (no subs!)
1 -2 teaspoon minced garlic (can use a bit more only if you like extreme garlic taste!)
1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
1/8 teaspoon basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1 -1 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Tips:

  • Use a glass or ceramic bowl that is microwave-safe and large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • To ensure a smooth and creamy sauce, whisk the ingredients thoroughly before microwaving.
  • Microwave the sauce in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent it from boiling over or curdling.

  • If the sauce is too thin, continue microwaving it in short intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, chicken, or vegetables.
