How to Make Easy Microwave Creamy Alfredo Sauce
- In a 1-quart microwave-safe dish, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is very hot and the butter is melted, stirring halfway through.
- Reduce heat to 50% power and stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Microwave for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Toss the sauce immediately with 1 pound of hot, cooked pasta.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley (optional).
- For added flavor, incorporate pre-cooked additions such as sautéed mushrooms, diced tomatoes, steamed broccoli, cooked shrimp, or cooked chicken.
