How to Make Kittencal's Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  3. Whisk constantly for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1 minute until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream and 1/2 cup (120ml) table cream.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Whisk constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  7. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce is bubbly and coats the back of a spoon.
  8. Reduce heat to lowest setting. Stir in 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.
  10. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese.
