How to Make Alfredo Sauce
Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and whisk continuously until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, whisking occasionally. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite pasta, vegetables, meat, or rice. Enjoy!
