How To Make homemade creamy alfredo sauce

Step 1

Bring cream cheese and butter to room temp.

Step 2

Measure a cup of milk. Measure 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan. Make sure you use just the jarred kind because if you use the more fancy one it comes out more lumpy.
Step 3

Cube or cut cream cheese and butter into bits.
Step 4

Place cream cheese and butter in a saucepan on low heat.
Step 5

Add the milk when the cream cheese and butter starts to melt. Keep stirring for 5 mins.
Step 6

Then add the Parmesan cheese in. Stir until smooth.
Step 7

Don't overcook, it will be a little lumpy and thick. If you want a thinner sauce just keep adding a 1/2 c of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency).
