Alfredo Sauce


This is one of those easy to whip up because I'm too lazy to do anything else kinda things. I bought jarred Afredo sauce in the past and just couldn't eat it. It tasted that terrible to me. Luckily, someone showed me that it is terribly easy to make your own. I like easy.

Alfredo Sauce

Yields 2 1/2 cups of sauce

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of shredded parmesan cheese (ramano can be used in a pinch)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon basil or a couple of fresh basil leaves
2 cloves of minced garlic
dash of salt

Directions:

Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add garlic and let simmer for a minute. Add cream slowly. Bring to a boil and add cheese while whisking. After cheese has throughly melted add pepper, basil, and salt. Remove from heat and let it stand for a couple minutes before serving. This will thicken the sauce. Pour over your favorite pasta and top with a little grated parmesan cheese.
