Alfredo Sauce Recipe

alfredo sauce recipe easy

Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy white sauce made with garlic, butter, heavy cream, and parmesan. This savory cheesy sauce infuses garlic into the butter and can be used with all kinds of pasta or even on top of vegetables. This recipe is different, I dare say better, than an alfredo sauce recipe with cream cheese.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely minced or pressed)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese (finely grated)

Instruction:

  1. Add butter and garlic to a saute pan and heat over low heat. Allow to cook until the butter is infused with the garlic, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of heavy cream, stir, and allow to come to a simmer. Increase heat to medium, if needed. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately add in parmesan cheese and remaining heavy cream. (Note: the parmesan will easily melt if it was finely grated from a block. If you used pre-grated cheese that is thicker, you may have to continue heating over low heat to get it to melt.) Stir to combine. It will take several minutes for the cheese to melt. It will look goopy at first and then the sauce will be creamy and smooth. If sauce needs to be thinned, add additional heavy cream.
  4. To serve, toss with tossed pasta or use to cover vegetables.

FAQ

What is homemade alfredo sauce made of?

Authentic Italian Alfredo sauce is typically made with Parmesan cheese, butter, some warm pasta cooking water, and salt. Over the years, it’s been adapted to include heavy cream – I think we can thank the Americans for that one.

What can I use instead of heavy cream in Alfredo sauce?

The two best substitutes for heavy cream in alfredo sauce are: Milk + Flour + Butter: Whisk together 1 cup of whole milk (make sure it’s COLD), 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter (cooled). Whisk until smooth. Once you heat this mixture it will begin to thicken like heavy cream.

What makes Alfredo sauce taste better?

Extra seasonings and spices will go a long way in adding flavor to a boring jar of sauce. Some of my personal favorites include salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried basil, oregano, onion powder or seasoned salt. Start with small amounts (1/2 teaspoon at a time) and add as needed, in order to avoid over-spicing.

What is the secret to smooth alfredo sauce?

The secret to thinning cheese sauces is to mix in small amounts of starchy pasta water. If you are making Alfredo Sauce for pasta, simply use a measuring cup to scoop out about a cup of the salted pasta water just before you drain the pasta.
