How to Make Homemade Alfredo Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 8 ounces (227g) of cream cheese over medium heat. Stir frequently until smooth.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) of milk until fully incorporated and smooth. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and become creamy.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped chives.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite noodles or pasta.
