Simple Alfredo Sauce


If you need a quick meal on the table in 15 minutes, this recipe is your saving grace. The sauce takes the same amount of time that it takes to boil the pasta.

Ingredients:


  • 6 c cooked pasta
  • 1/4 c butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 c half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 c parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 c chopped parsley

Directions:

  1. While the pasta is cooking, heat butter in a large skillet. Add garlic and sautée.
  2. Sprinkle with flour and whisk well.
  3. Add cream and whisk well, simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes. If it gets too thick, add a couple spoonfuls of water from the boiling pasta.
  5. Add chopped parsley right at the end and toss with cooked pasta.
