Description
Creamy Alfredo sauce made with real butter, cream, and Parmesan — simple, quick, and ultra-satisfying.
Ingredients
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole milk (or 2%)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat a skillet to a low/medium heat. Add butter to the pan, and once melted, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy and flour. Pour the mixture into the skillet, and add the milk. Whisk the mixture over low heat until nice and smooth.
Add the parmesan cheese in small portions and continue whisking. Do this until all the cheese is incorporated. Whisk in salt and pepper.
Bring the sauce up to a light simmer, turn the heat to low, and cook until the sauce is nice and thick.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best meltability. Keep the heat low to avoid separation. Reheat gently with a splash of milk.
