How to Make Best Ever Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 ½ cups of heavy cream. Whisk constantly to combine with the garlic and butter.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching.
- Add 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese and ½ cup grated Fontina cheese. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring constantly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta (penne rigate or fettuccine recommended). Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs (optional).
