garlic powder garlic

milk (whole, 2%, 1% or Skim)

black pepper

nutmeg (optional)

oregano (optional)

Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with until smooth

Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps.

Season with a dash of oregano and nutmeg if desired. Add ground black pepper to taste.

Stir in Parmesan. Continue to cook the sauce for 10-12 minutes over medium heat until it is hot and begins to thicken slightly. (It DOES take 10-12 minutes!) Stir frequently and whisk as needed to ensure it is smooth and the parmesan is incorporated throughout. When the sauce begins to thicken, remove it from the heat. It will thicken more after it is removed from the heat.  If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little milk.

Toss with hot pasta to serve. Serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese and/or bread crumbs and/or finely chopped parsley.

Homemade Alfredo Sauce

heavy cream

butter

Parmesan cheese block ((about 1 1/2-2 cups))

black pepper ((optional))

garlic

In a heavy bottomed skillet, heat the cream and butter over medium low heat until the butter is melted.

Use a grater to finely grate the Parmesan cheese.

Add the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese to the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, stirring between each addition so that the cheese melts evenly. Be sure not to add the cheese too quickly. Take your time and add it slowly, stirring constantly!

After all the cheese is added, stir in the pepper and garlic, stirring over low heat for 1 minute.

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately over fettuccini or your favorite pasta.
