Warning: Once you make alfredo sauce from scratch, it's pretty much impossible to go back to jarred alfredo sauce ever again. This is what alfredo sauce is supposed to taste like. #LifeChanging

I've got two versions that I make, depending on what I've got in the fridge. The first version "Alfredo Cream Sauce" is faster and very rich.

ALFREDO CREAM SAUCE INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) of butter
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cup  Parmesan cheese

ALFREDO CREAM SAUCE DIRECTIONS
  1. Melt the butter and whisk in most of the cream over medium heat for a few minutes until it thickens a bit.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the remaining cream and the parmesan cheese. Whisk and serve on your favorite dish!

GARLIC ALFREDO SAUCE INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup  minced onions
  • 2  tablespoons  minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4  cups half-and-half OR 2 cups of whole milk + 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups parmesan cheese, shredded

GARLIC ALFREDO SAUCE DIRECTIONS
  1. Melt the butter and add the onions & garlic until translucent, ~4 min (med-high heat).
  2. Stir in the flour to coat for a minute or two.
  3. Whisk in the half-and-half OR milk & cream, constantly stirring so it doesn't scorch until thickened 6-8 min.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in the nutmeg, salt & pepper and parmesan cheese.
  5. Serve with your favorite dish!
