Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 bulb garlic, minced
  • 2 cups whipping cream (or heavy cream)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 - 3/4 bag Pizza blend- 4 cheese mix
  • noodles, cooked taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Make sure the butter does not brown
  • Add in the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute to soften the garlic and bring out its aroma
  • Slowly pour in the cream into the garlic butter mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Bring the cream mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer for 3-5 minutes, uncovered. Make sure to stir the mixture often with a wooden spoon to prevent any burns and to thinken the mixture.
  • The sauce is thick and good to go once it coats the back of the wooden spoon
  • Take the pan off the heat. Slowly add in the cheese and stir each time. You can make it thicker by adding more cheese or if you like it runny add less
  • Your sauce is now ready. You can serve with pasta and/or meat. Enjoy

Notes

  1. Traditionally, Alfredo is made with parmesan cheese; we didn't have any. Instead we used a pizza blend cheese because we had it left over from pizza night. 
  2. When you do purchase the Parmesan cheese, purchase it shredded or you can grate your own 
  3. We ended up tossing some ground turnkey in ours as well to give it more protein. Feel free to add any meats, seafood, or even just eat it plain with fettuccine pasta
