Alfredo Sauce, known for its richness and creamy texture, is a popular Italian pasta sauce. Made with butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings, this homemade version is easy to make and wonderfully complements pasta, vegetables, chicken, shrimp, or salmon.
Begin by heating a pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, sauté the garlic until it becomes aromatic.
Pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and mix it well. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remember to stir the cream frequently to prevent it from burning at the bottom.
Now, season the cream with a pinch of salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper powder. Stir everything together well.
Add the Parmesan cheese to the pan and stir until it completely melts into the cream.
Continue to stir and cook the sauce until it turns thick and smooth. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove the pan from heat and finish by garnishing the sauce with fresh parsley leaves.
