Comment préparer Classic Alfredo Sauce
- In a 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, heat heavy cream to a gentle simmer (do not boil vigorously).
- Reduce heat to low-medium.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. This prevents clumping.
- Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until melted and fully incorporated.
- Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Start with the suggested amounts and adjust to your preference.
- Continue to whisk gently over low heat for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
- Makes approximately 2 1/2 cups of sauce, enough to serve over 1 pound of cooked pasta.
- To serve, toss with your favorite cooked pasta and garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
