To start

Directions

Melt the butter

Set a small saucepan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. If it starts to brown, lower the heat right away.

Warm the cream

Pour in the heavy cream and stir for 2–3 minutes until warmed through. Keep it gently steaming, not boiling.

Add Parmesan gradually

Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan a little at a time. Whisk after each addition so it melts in smoothly without clumping.

Season and thicken

Once the sauce lightly thickens, season with salt and black pepper. Stir on low for another 1–2 minutes to reach your preferred consistency.

Serve right away

Take off the heat and toss with hot pasta. If the sauce feels too thick, mix in 1–2 tablespoons warm pasta water to loosen it.

This creamy Alfredo sauce recipe comes together fast with butter, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan. For pasta, keep it on low heat and stir until smooth; if it thickens too much, loosen it with a splash of warm pasta water. Ingredients and how to make it are below.
