Description
This easy Alfredo sauce recipe comes together in just 10 minutes! Made with butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan, it’s rich, creamy, and perfect for pasta, chicken, or dipping.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add heavy cream, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Serve immediately over pasta, chicken, or veggies.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest texture—pre-shredded cheese won’t melt as smoothly.
- Want extra flavor? Add a pinch of garlic powder, nutmeg, or red pepper flakes.
