Ingredients:

The beauty of this recipe is just how simple the ingredient list is. If you’ve made any of my other keto recipes before, you probably already have everything in your kitchen!

Butter- Unsalted butter. Use a very good quality butter, as the flavor really shines through. 

Heavy cream- Also known as thickened cream or double cream. Avoid using reduced fat or low fat varieties, as it will yield a more watery sauce. 

Parmesan cheese- Freshly grated or refrigerated parmesan cheese. Do not use the shelf stable variety, as it won’t melt and it will leave the sauce gritty. 

Garlic- Freshly minced garlic. 

• 2 tablespoon butter
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese finely grated

Instructions:

Two simple steps are all you’ll need to follow this recipe.

Whether you are a beginner cook or a full-fledged chef, this sauce will turn out perfect.

Step 1- Prepare the sauce base

Start by adding the butter into a small saucepan and placing it over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Gently stir through the heavy cream, and slowly mix, until it simmers.

Step 2- Fold through the cheese

Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Remove from the heat and fold in the parmesan cheese. Let the cheese melt into the sauce before serving it over your favorite entrée or main course. 

Storage information:

To store: Alfredo sauce will keep well stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it in a seal-able container and reheat it in the microwave or stove top. 

To freeze: Place the leftover sauce in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
