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! :)

Michael is right...this is the best and easiest Alfredo sauce ever...I've been making it like this for years and it always gets rave reviews...it's quick and yummy. It takes longer for me to boil the fettucine. Over the years I've added left over rottisserie chicken, broccoli, crabmeat, peas, shrimp...try it!

I am married to someone born in Italy who appreciates fine Italian cooking and we find nothing offensive whatsoever about this recipe INCLUDING its cream cheese. Never mind her - this recipe is AWESOME!! I have also made with 1/2 romano and 1/2 Parmesan.

I just made this tonight and my husband said it was one of the best meals I have ever made. While I relished in the compliment...I kept thinking what about all the other meals I have made over 25 years!! :) I'm a waitress..so before I made it..I had one of the cooks where I work look at it and he said.."This is how you make real Alfredo Sauce" Thanks!! I will be trying this on my 3 yr old great-grandson this weekend...He loves cheese!

This recipe is the best,I have ever used. My family enjoy this sauce the most.

Lisa (Maryland) says:

I really felt that the tablespoon of garlic was very overpowering and took away from the cheese flavor. Next time I will use 1 or 2 tsp. instead. But to each their own.

Alyssa (Texas) says:

I just made this sauce (I'm testing different alfredo recipes this week) and it isn't a true alfredo sauce, it's more of a cream sauce. Before I offer my opinion, I just want to say that this is a tasty sauce, and if I were on a budget I would make it again.

First of all, if you're making it for a girl, don't make it for the diet-conscious type. The cup of half and half and 1/2 cup of butter would horrify her.

Second, the cream cheese completely obscured the parmesan. If you're on a budget, you can buy cheap pre-shredded parmesan and get away with it. I recommend adding more cheese if you're looking for more flavor. However, it was a total waste of the expensive Parmagiano Reggiano I put in the sauce.

That being said, it was still a good creamy sauce that I will probably make again. But a true alfredo sauce, it just doesn't fit the bill.
