Ingredients
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
2 oz. cream cheese (this is optional but it makes the sauce creamier)
1/2 tsp fresh garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese (freshly grated )
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
How to make Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Step 1: Add the butter, heavy whipping cream, and if using, cream cheese in a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir for about 2 minutes on low heat until the cheese has melted and begins to simmer lightly.
Step 2: To the skillet, add in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk for about a minute. If you want a more garlicky flavour, add garlic in melted butter and cook for about a minute, then add to the ingredients from step 1.
Step 3: Adjust the heat to low before adding in the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until melted.
Step 4: When done, serve with your preferred pasta. If desired, sprinkle some nutmeg on top for a very subtle nutty flavour. Enjoy immediately.
