Description
Alfredo sauce is a rich, creamy sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, often served with pasta to create a luxurious and comforting dish.
Ingredients
½ cup butter 
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 
2 teaspoons garlic powder 
2 cups milk 
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper 
Instructions
Gather all ingredients.
Melt butter:
In a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
Add cream cheese and garlic powder:
Stir with a wire whisk until smooth.
Add milk:
Gradually add milk, whisking to smooth out lumps.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper:
Continue stirring until well combined.
Adjust consistency:
Remove from heat when the sauce reaches the desired thickness. The sauce will thicken rapidly, so thin it with milk if cooked too long.
Serve:
Toss the Alfredo sauce with hot pasta and enjoy! 
Notes
- For the best results, use high-quality Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself.
- Avoid boiling the sauce once the cheese has been added to prevent separation.
- This sauce thickens upon cooling, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
