Ingredients Needed
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
How To Make Alfredo Sauce
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients.
- Melt the Butter: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add Cheese and Garlic: Add Parmesan cheese and garlic; whisk continuously until heated through.
- Stir in Parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Parmesan: Grate your own Parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor. Pre-grated cheese doesn’t melt as smoothly.
- Adjust Consistency: For a thicker sauce, simmer longer; for a thinner sauce, add a little extra cream.
- Fresh Parsley: Use fresh parsley for the best color and flavor. Avoid dried parsley for this sauce.
- Low Heat: Always cook the sauce on low heat to prevent the cream from curdling.
- Serve Immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served hot and fresh; it thickens as it cools.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover Alfredo sauce in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Leftover Alfredo sauce can be frozen, but it may separate when reheated. Freeze it for up to 3 months in an airtight container. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and stir well before warming.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover Alfredo sauce over low heat on the stove for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, to avoid separating.
