Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy garlic parmesan Alfredo sauce that comes together in under 5 minutes, perfect for comforting pasta dishes or drizzling over veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat for about 2 minutes, avoiding browning.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Increase heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. Add more cream or warm milk if the sauce is too thick.
  5. Season with salt (start with 1/4 teaspoon) and freshly ground black pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon). Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Once thick and creamy (about 5 minutes total), remove from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Cook sauce over low to medium-low heat to prevent curdling and clumping. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture. Reheat gently with a splash of cream if sauce thickens after cooling.
