Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Pasta of your choice (fettuccine works great!)
Instructions
- Begin by cooking your favorite pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside when done.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
- Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the softened cream cheese until smooth. It may take a minute or so to fully incorporate.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to combine the ingredients smoothly.
- Add in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember to keep tasting as you go to adjust the flavors!
- Finally, combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, ensuring each piece of pasta is coated with that luxurious alfredo goodness.
