How to Make Easy Quick And Best Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- If using, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion to the melted butter and cook until translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Whisk vigorously until completely smooth and all lumps are gone.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half, a little at a time, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Continue whisking for a few minutes until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper (or to taste). Cook until the sauce reaches your desired thickness, stirring frequently.
- If the sauce thickens too quickly, add more heavy cream or half-and-half, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Toss the sauce with your favorite cooked pasta and serve immediately. Enjoy!
