Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the Alfredo sauce will be. Look for fresh, organic dairy products and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce well.
Make the sauce while the pasta is cooking. This will help ensure that the sauce is ready when the pasta is done.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help prevent the sauce from burning.
Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
Stir the sauce constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
Add the Parmesan cheese gradually. This will help prevent the sauce from becoming too thick or grainy.
Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
