Ingredients for Alfredo Sauce

  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Montasio Cheese
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • Heavy Cream
  • Garlic Clove
  • Peppercorn

How to Make Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt butter in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Once melted, whisk in the heavy cream until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until melted and smooth. Reduce heat to low if necessary to prevent scorching.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir until well combined and heated through.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or with chicken.
  6. For an extra rich flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly grated nutmeg.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
