Steps:
- 1. Bring cream cheese and butter to room temp.
- 2. Measure a cup of milk. Measure 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan. Make sure you use just the jarred kind because if you use the more fancy one it comes out more lumpy.
- 3. Cube or cut cream cheese and butter into bits.
- 4. Place cream cheese and butter in a saucepan on low heat.
- 5. Add the milk when the cream cheese and butter starts to melt. Keep stirring for 5 mins.
- 6. Then add the Parmesan cheese in. Stir until smooth.
- 7. Don't overcook, it will be a little lumpy and thick. If you want a thinner sauce just keep adding a 1/2 c of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency).
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and real butter will make a big difference.
- Don't boil the cream. Bring it to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. If you boil the cream, it will curdle and the sauce will be ruined.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help the sauce cling to the pasta better.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve the Alfredo sauce immediately over your favorite pasta. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
