Easy Alfredo Sauce Recipe
All you need are 6 ingredients and 10 minutes to make the most luxurious, creamy, cheesy garlic Alfredo sauce recipe. Perfect for pasta, gnocchi, and everything else!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese about 4 ounces + more for garnishing
Instructions
- Place a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt the butter in the skillet.
- Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, for one minute, just until softened and fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown! The compounds in garlic will develop a bitter taste if it browns/burns.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and the salt. Bring just to a simmer, stirring frequently, then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Heat until thickened and warmed through. Toss with pasta or gnocchi and serve immediately.
