EASIEST & BEST HOMEMADE ALFREDO
SAUCE
 
This by far is the easiest and best Alfredo sauce recipe I have found yet! I love pasta and Alfredo and searched forever to make it homemade. I think that too many recipes have too many ingredients and that others are too watery. My girlfriend loves it and makes me cook it at least once a week.. plus you can add it to so many different things! This is a great, simple recipe to make for someone coming over for a dinner date ;)

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
pepper, to taste

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter.

2. Once butter is almost melted, add the package of cream cheese. It's easiest to cut it into 4 pieces so that it melts quicker.

3. Once butter and cream cheese are mixed well together, add the cup of half and half, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and then shake pepper on top. Stir all together until well mixed.

4. Once it's mixed well and sauce-like, take it off the burner and set aside so it can thicken up. Stir every few moments.

5. DONE! Pour over your favorite pasta, I love it with tortellini!

Don't forget some bread-sticks to dip in the extra sauce! :)

Simple and delicious! Perfect for my keto lifestyle - with Shirataki noodles. Used heavy cream instead of half & half, added a little more Parmesan, and crumbled bacon on top. YUM!

It might be simple, but it doesn't taste anything like Alfredo sauce. (That is unless you like your Alfredo tasting like cream cheese.)

This one is about perfect, only I use white pepper...

OK, so after making this sauce for what seems like several years, I need to make sure I have given this cook a big thank you and a big five star review! This lovely, smooth, delicious, easy sauce has made it so I don't think I could ever buy bottled Alfredo ever ever again.

I've never made Alfredo before. It was quick, easy and my grandson loved it. I'll make it again!!!

This is the best Alfredo sauce. Like he says in his title the best and easiest. I try to look for recipes that don't have too many ingredients and this is one of them but not only that it tastes good too. Not much harder than opening a can but the taste is far superior.

Best alfredo sauce. I skip recipes with a lot of ingredients or hard to make. This was easy. I love it. I've been using it ever since I found it. Thank you!

How much sauce does this make? Is it OK to make extra with the same results as this makes?

 LSM (California) says:
I know this has been around for a while because I've been using it for a while. This is the best alfredo sauce ever. Every time I make it, I want to review it, but I forget and yes, it is the easiest. It's easier than going to the store and buying it and, of course, better.
