Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Creamy, silky, homemade Alfredo sauce! Perfectly smooth, wonderfully creamy, and paired with twirly pasta.

- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- Pasta of choice! I love this with DeLallo fettuccine or egg pappardelle – this amount of sauce works well with about 8 ounces of pasta
Steps
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Keep the heat very low, and add garlic cloves to butter. Cook until fragrant – about 5 minutes. (If you’re serving this with pasta, start that now! Don’t forget to add a generous pinch of salt to the water!)
Remove garlic cloves from the butter. Add heavy cream and broth, and bring to a very gentle simmer. Whisk to incorporate. Simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Add Parmesan to the sauce. Whisk in until fully melted and thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Toss with the pasta and keep over low heat until the sauce is clinging to the pasta the way you want! Or spoon the sauce over a protein and/or veg of choice. SO LUSCIOUS!
