I’ve met so many people who didn’t realize how easy it is to make your own Alfredo Sauce – and I’m hoping to make a believer out of you if you aren’t already! A few common ingredients make the most amazing sauce – butter, heavy cream, freshly minced garlic, and freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. I can’t stress enough how important it is to use good quality ingredients – buy real cheese and skip the stuff in the green shaker canister!

Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter, 4 tablespoons or 1/2 stick
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the heavy cream and allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and Parmesan and whisk continuously until the cheese in completely melted.
- Use in your favorite recipe or serve with cooked pasta of your choice.
Notes
- Always use freshly shredded cheese, NOT the stuff in a can!
- This can be reheated, but I highly recommend doing so over a medium heat on the stove so you can stir and keep an eye on it.

I added red pepper flakes, minced onion, onion powder and some freshly cracked pepper and it was a hit! Thank you!
I used 2 cups of cream to thin it a little and it was great! My family loves this recipe!
Love this recipe! Made three cheese tortellini with sauteed onions, mushrooms and spinach. I added about 1/2 tsp Italian seasonings to the sauce. This made a very filling and delicious lunch for my daughters and I. Thank you for sharing your recipe?
Wow, I just tried this tonight and it was delicious! So simple and so easy! Thank you for posting this! I never knew how easy it was to make alfredo!
This sauce made the perfect sauce for chicken alfredo! It took around 20 minutes from start to finish, with cooking the chicken. I didn’t have heavy cream, but I used skim milk and 2 tbsp of cornstarch to substitute. It was perfect! Thanks for such a great recipe, and a delicious dinner! ?
