Ingredients​

• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 2-3 garlic cloves minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions​

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté the garlic and butter together for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be sure not to overcook the garlic for it may cause the garlic to burn.
• Over medium-low heat, pour in the heavy cream a bit at a time, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer, but not a boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and until slightly thickened.
• Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
• Serve the Alfredo sauce over cooked pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes​

• Store homemade alfredo sauce in an airtight container, jar or covered well with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.

Can anyone tell me why a recipe that calls for Unsalted butter, then asks you to add salt? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. Surely just use salted butter and forget the extra addition of salt would be the same thing?

It says season with “salt and pepper to taste” so add it if you want more salt but you don’t have to it’s your choice.
