Nikki's Quick and Velvety Alfredo Sauce
Here's a glimpse of the silky sauce that will have your taste buds dancing with joy:
This luscious sauce is incredibly easy to make and requires just a few ingredients. Gather these simple staples from your pantry:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Your choice of pasta (fettuccine is traditional)
Instructions:
- Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Make sure to salt the water for flavor. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Don’t be shy; adjust the seasoning to suit your palate!
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the Alfredo sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for that extra touch of flavor and color.
This Alfredo sauce is truly a game-changer when it comes to dinners. Pair it with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the creamy indulgence!
