Classic Alfredo Sauce
Who would have thought a classic could be this easy? Butter, heavy cream, black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Yup – four ingredients, one pan, a few minutes, and we’re ready for some really good eatin’!
Cooking Time: 18 min
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1.In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat and stir in the cream and pepper. Continue stirring for 6 to 8 minutes, or until hot.
2.Stir in the cheese until thoroughly mixed and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened, stirring frequently. Serve immediately. Makes about 2 3/4 cups.
Notes
I like to toss this with about 1 pound of pasta and top with additional Parmesan cheese. There’s a reason Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic, you know – it’s the perfect marriage of wide noodles with cream sauce. We can even use spinach-flavored fettuccine to get nice contrast between the green pasta and the white sauce.
