Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

There’s no such thing as Alfredo sauce / Alfredo sauce isn’t supposed to have cream! Ok, whatever this is, we like it.

Yield: 5-6 servings

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (I use BelGioioso)
  • garlic powder to taste
  • pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat.
  2. Add cream and Parmesan cheese. Turn heat up to medium.
  3. Stir occasionally until Parmesan is fully melted. This usually takes me about five minutes. Try to time it just right with the pasta because it can separate quickly.
  4. (Optional) Add cooked meat and/or veggies to the finished Alfredo sauce. I usually add shrimp sautéed in butter and garlic powder.
  5. Serve over pasta.

Reheating: The sauce completely solidifies in the fridge, but reheats fine. I recommend just putting small scoops on cold pasta and reheating it all together on 70% power.
