This weekend I was really was craving some pasta and alfredo sauce. I thought about going to Olive garden, but i thought to myself, that would be too easy. So me and my boyfriend got together for dinner, and decided we were going to make homemade alfredo sauce. It only took us about 20 minutes to make the sauce and pasta, and cost about $15 dollars for all the ingredients. So in the end we ended up spending less money then we would if we went to Olive Garden. The sauce is made with 5 ingredients which makes its super simple and easy to make. The sauce is also absolutely delicious!!!! It's extremely creamy and tastes so cheesy. I would say that this sauce is ten times better than Olive garden's alfredo sauce. The secret to this sauce is cream cheese, it gives the sauce that extra flavor and texture that makes the sauce better than Olive Garden.
So heres how you make the sauce,
You will need:
1 stick of butter
1pt. of heavy cream
1 cup of parmesan cheese (fresh/grated)
2 tbsp of cream cheese
1tsp pepper
1tsp garlic powder
To start the sauce, melt the stick of butter in a large sauce pan, once the butter is melted add the heavy cream. Then add pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese to the liquid mixture. Allow the sauce to simmer for 15 minutes on medium heat. Don't for get to boil your pasta while making the sauce so it is ready when your sauce is ready. Add sauce to your pasta with a little parsley on top, and serve!
WARNING: This may not be the healthiest of recipes, but its well worth it! This sauce is going to make you want to keep eating and eating, so don't forget to wear you loose pants for this meal!
