Ree Drummond's Alfredo Sauce for Alex's 16th Birthday as seen on Food Network's The Pioneer Woman

In a saucepan or skillet, warm the butter and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan and stir until melted.

Toss to combine, thinning with pasta water if necessary.

First time making or eating from scratch alfredo.  I cooked this slowly.  First melted the butter, then sauteed 2 Tbsp store bought minced garlic (we love garlic), whisked in the cream, and very very very slowly added in a tub of Sargento pre-grated parm, whisking after each little sprinkle.  Took 10 minutes start to finish and is the best alfredo I've ever tasted.  I would drink this.  <br />

This has been my memorized go to recipe for Alfredo Sauce for a long time. While heating the butter and cream I put in 1 or 2 cloves of smashed garlic and a drizzle of white wine which thins the sauce just enough. I remove the garlic when ready to use the sauce. Talk about easy and impressive, this is it.

The ratio of cream to cheese is off. Use 2 cups cream and 1.5 cups cheese.

Love this recipe,  but for me, 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups grated Parm worked best! Sometimes I also add minced garlic! 

Very good, I also added roasted garlic as other reviewers mentioned and I did not add salt due to the sodium already in the butter and the parmesan cheese.  As others stated, it says to WARM the butter and the cream - overheating can cause the grainy texture.  Don't rush this one, I've learned the hard way.

Omg this is sooooooooooo good. I will never go back to a jar sauce ever again.

This was amazing! I will never buy jarred alfredo sauce again. Super easy &amp; quick! I did add some minced garlic, cause I love garlic in my pasta. Whipped up in no time after a long work day, with some quick boil ravioli. Yum!

This is good but I recommend reducing the amount of butter in half otherwise it is too oily.  I like the idea of adding garlic and Italian seasoning.  I will try that too. 

I added 1 tsp minced garlic and it was phenomenal!!

A little thin but so delicious. Dieting so had a small portion. Totally worth it and had to restrain from eating more.  Loved that it tasted so pamesanny.
