Creamy Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Alfredo sauce is possibly the most famous pasta sauce in existence, with the exception of a traditional tomato sauce. But when it's poorly prepared, Alfredo sauce is too thick or too thin. Good Alfredo sauce should be creamy and smooth. It should stick to the pasta, not settle at the bottom of the pasta bowl. This creamy Alfredo sauce recipe should provide you with perfect Alfredo sauce every time.

Good Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 and 2/3 cup of heavy cream
• 5 tablespoons of sweet butter
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 pound of of fettuccine
• salt, pepper, and nutmeg

Add the cream and the butter to the skillet and cook over low heat until the butter melts and the cream simmers. (Be careful to keep the heat low; you'll ruin it if it gets too hot.)

Cook and drain the pasta. Add the pasta and the grated cheese to the skillet with the cream and butter in it, and toss until it coats the pasta. Season with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
