How to Make Cajun Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2-4 cloves of minced garlic (start with 2, add more to taste).
  3. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese and 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning (start with 1, add more to taste).
  7. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, stirring constantly.
  8. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
