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

  1. Melt 1/4 stick of butter in skillet and sauté onions and garlic until translucent
  2. add in the rest of the butter and melt, you can even let this get a little brown for a richer taste
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
