Easy Cream Sauce Recipe (White Parmesan Alfredo)
This easy cream sauce recipe is rich, silky, and absolutely loaded with parmesan cheese flavor. It’s my go-to white sauce recipe for pasta, dipping, and even pizza, and it comes together in one pan with just a handful of ingredients!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon Salted Butter
- 1 clove Garlic finely grated
- 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Fresh Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add salted butter to a skillet over medium heat.
- Once melted, add garlic and stir.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and starting to get tender—do not let it get crispy.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking as you pour, to help emulsify it into the butter.
- Let the sauce gently bubble and thicken for about 8 minutes or so.
- Slowly stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese, a little at a time, to create a rich and luscious cream sauce.
- Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper and let simmer until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove from heat and use for dipping, for pasta, or as a base for pizzas.
