Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

Tips:

- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese is crucial for the best flavor and texture of your Alfredo sauce. Pre-packaged shredded cheese contains additives that can disrupt the sauce's smooth consistency. - To prevent the sauce from breaking or curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot sauce at a time. This will help the eggs gradually adjust to the heat, preventing them from scrambling. - If you're using heavy cream, make sure it's cold before adding it to the sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from becoming too thin and watery. - Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more milk or cream if it's too thick, or by simmering it for a few minutes longer if it's too thin. - For a richer flavor, use a combination of Parmesan and Asiago cheeses in the sauce. - If you want a vegetarian Alfredo sauce, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. - For a gluten-free Alfredo sauce, use gluten-free pasta and make sure the Parmesan cheese you use is also gluten-free.

Conclusion:
