Alfredo Sauce
This is my daughter Madison’s recipe – and it’s incredibly easy, and honestly – so much better than anything I’ve ever made, or had from a jar. It’s seriously worth the extra few minutes to make it from scratch. Simple ingredients, no preservatives.
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 3 Cups 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick of butter (1/2 Cup)
- 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, mince
- 2/3 C grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
note: if you have picky eaters, I’ve made this with onion powder and garlic powder multiple times – no chunks and still tastes great – start with 1/2 tsp of each and taste.
Instructions
- Melt 1/4 stick of butter in skillet and sauté onions and garlic until translucent
- add in the rest of the butter and melt, you can even let this get a little brown for a richer taste
- reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream – once it starts to simmer, cut to the lowest heat setting and stir in Parmesan.
- Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking – I like this with A LOT of pepper. The Parmesan is quite salty, so taste before you salt!
Notes
We use all sorts of noodles and mix ins – blackened chicken & steamed broccoli are our favorites – but you can use this on anything you’d like a good alfredo sauce on.
