How to Make Easy Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, adding a little at a time to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (or 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese) and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and immediately toss with your favorite hot pasta. Serve immediately and enjoy!
