I came upon a recipe similar to this and modified it a little. It turned out to be the easiest and most delicious Alfredo sauce I have ever made. Enjoy! I also often steam some broccoli and mushrooms and serve this with grilled chicken breast.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1-2 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 pound pasta ( i prefer linguine)

How To Make alfredo sauce with linguine

  • Step 1
    Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Step 2
    While pasta is cooking in a heavy bottom pan, on medium heat, melt butter and the 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, stirring occasionally. Once combined add 1 1/2 cups of the Parmesan cheese and stir occasionally until melted. Add garlic powder.
  • Step 3
    Add the corn starch to the remaining 2 T of heavy cream with a fork or small whisk until it makes a smooth paste. This will be what thickens your sauce. Add 1-2 T of the corn starch depending on how thick you would like your sauce. I usually use 1 1/2 T. Once ingredients in pot have combined add the paste to your sauce with a whisk until completely dissolved. It does not take long for your sauce to thicken.
  • Step 4
    Pour sauce over cooked and drained pasta and mix well. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve.
