How to Make Chef Jean's Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. Continue to simmer and stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Add more Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve the desired thickness.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
