Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe

[MidnightWanderer88]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my go-to recipe for a simple yet incredibly delicious homemade Alfredo sauce. It's so much creamier and flavorful than anything from a jar!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
3. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in Parmesan and Romano cheese (if using) until melted and smooth.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
• If the sauce seems too thick, thin it out with a tablespoon or two of pasta water.
• Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Let me know if you try this recipe and what you think! Happy cooking!

The tip about using freshly grated Parmesan really made a difference in the flavor. I added a pinch of nutmeg as you suggested, and it gave the sauce a nice depth. Definitely going to be my go-to recipe from now on. Thanks again!
