RECIPE INGREDIENTS

• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 375 ml heavy cream or half-and-half

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to make Alfredo Sauce //

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté until just fragrant. This would only take about 45 to 55 seconds.
3. Add heavy cream and stir well. Keep stirring heavy cream into the butter until combined.
4. Simmer for 5 minutes, stir occasionally.
5. Add in the Parmesan cheese and whisk until cheese is melted.
6. Then add salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. (you can adjust seasonings as needed.)
7. Cook on low heat until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon. It would take about 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk occasionally until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
8. To check, do a nappe test; coat the back of a spoon with the sauce. Run through a finger and if it stays exposed that means the sauce is perfectly cooked and has reached the nappe stage.
9. Turn off the heat and toss with your favorite pasta. Top with some grated parmesan and serve immediately.
