Who doesn't love alfredo sauce? It was my go to order growing up when eating at a restaurant - it's super popular and for good reason, who doesn't love creamy, cheesy goodness? We don't make it super often anymore as we try not to eat super dairy heavy but every once in awhile you just need that yummy, comfort food. Plus my kids love it!
Alfredo Sauce
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cups heavy cream
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
5 oz grated parmesan cheese
salt + pepper
reserved pasta water
In a sauce pot, melt butter, add in garlic and cook until fragrant. Then add in cream cheese and let it melt. Whisk in heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and stir until smooth. Then add in parmesan cheese in two batches, letting it come to a simmer in between. Add a couple splashes of reserved pasta water with parmesan cheese and take your time so your cheese fully melts in.
