Description: 

Rich, thick and creamy Alfredo sauce on a layer of pasta or oven roasted vegetables. Mmmm….Mamma Mia! What else can one say? This quick and easy recipe shows you how to make this Italian sauce from scratch.

Ingredients: 

1 pint heavy cream
½ cup butter
2 tablespoons cream cheese
¾ cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions: 

Place the cream, butter and cream cheese together in a saucepan until melted, stirring constantly.

Add Parmesan and garlic powder and simmer for about 15-20 minutes on a low heat until the cheese begins to brown just slightly. Take off the fire immediately. Check for seasoning.

Tips: 

For a creamier and richer version, you could double the amount of butter.
