Best Homemade Alfredo Sauce is rich,


creamy, and packed with garlic
parmesan flavor! This Alfredo Sauce is
easy to make and perfect with your
favorite pasta!

Alfredo Sauce:
Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite
things to have with a big bowl of pasta!
It’s a very rich and indulgent treat for
dinner. I also love that it only takes
about 5-10 minutes to whip up a batch!
This recipe will yield about two cups of
sauce total. It can easily be doubled if
you are feeding a crowd or want extra
for later. The bottled Alfredo just
doesn’t compare to this delicious
homemade version! If you love cooking
from scratch, make some of this
Homemade Pasta to go along with your
sauce!

What is Alfredo
Sauce?
Traditional Alfredo is a simple
white/cream sauce. It is made from
butter, heavy cream, and parmesan
cheese. While the original style is great,
I simply like to add garlic, salt, pepper,
and Italian seasoning to make Alfredo
sauce taste even better!

How to Make Alfredo


Sauce:
The first step to making Alfredo is
to warm your butter and cream in a
large saucepan over low heat. You
will let it simmer (but not boil) for
about 2 minutes.
Next, you will whisk in your garlic
and seasonings. Whisking
constantly for about one minute
just to let the garlic cook.
Lastly, you will add your parmesan
cheese and stir just until the
cheese has melted and your sauce
is smooth.

Note that it is best to use freshly grated


parmesan cheese right off of the block
so that your sauce isn’t grainy. I do not
recommend using the “shaker” style
container grated cheese for this recipe.

The Parmesan will thicken this sauce


up. If it isn’t quite thick enough, allow
the sauce to stand for 2-3 minutes
before serving.

If you love making your own pasta sauce


at home, be sure to try out my Easy
Homemade Pesto as well!

Enjoy!

I didn’t know Alfredo sauce was this easy!


Was looking for a way to prepare some
leftover chicken with pasta and this turned
out great. Used half and half instead of
heavy cream but it still came out good.
