CREAMIEST Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe!
This is the creamiest and BEST Homemade Alfredo Sauce that I have come across! It even wins over the Olive Garden's recipe that I have been using!
Ingredients
Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe
- 4 oz unsalted butter, (1 stick)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 quart heavy cream, (4 cups)
- 2 Tbsp crushed garlic , (10 cloves, crushed)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese , (or Pecorino Romano)
Instructions
How to make Alfredo Sauce
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the cream cheese over medium heat. Whisk in the butter and melt until smooth.
- Add the cream and bring to a boil.
- Then add the garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk and simmer until thickened.
- Whisk in the grated cheese and heat thoroughly.
- Serve over pasta or store in the fridge for up-to 1 week.
Notes
- I love to buy a block of Pecorino Romano from Costco and freshly grate it then freeze. This way I always have freshly grated cheese on hand for recipes like this.
- The butter and cream cheese can be cold when making, you do not need to bring to room temp.
- Freeze in 1 or 2 cup portions for easy re-heating.
- 2 cups of alfredo sauce yield enough for 1 lb of pasta.
