Heavy Whipping Cream Alfredo
Making quick alfredo sauce at home is super easy and just takes 10 minutes. You'll love this creamy alfredo sauce recipe with heavy whipping cream and you'll seriously never use jarred sauce again!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup butter cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
Instructions
- Heat a medium-size saucepan on medium-low. Once the pan is warm, melt the ¼ cup of butter pieces.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Combine all of the ingredients together.
- Add the shredded parmesan cheese in batches until it's melted, stirring constantly. You don't want to add it all at once since it could clump. This will just take you a minute or two at most to melt.
- Heat the alfredo sauce to a simmer (do not let it boil) and remove. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing. So easy! Enjoy!
- Serves 4 if you're making fettuccini alfredo and adding it to 8 oz of cooked pasta.
Notes
It is super important that you do not let your sauce come to a boil. At a boiling temperature, the butter could separate from the rest of the sauce or the milk could burn--both of which would cause your sauce to separate.
The recipe can be doubled if you need more than 4 servings with 8 oz of pasta.
The quick and easy alfredo sauce can be served over gluten-free pasta or zoodles if you're following a low-carb or keto diet.
