Best and Easiest Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce EVER!!!!!!

The Best and Easiest Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce EVER!!!!!  I Promise!!!!!!



Remember I didn't say healthiest just easiest.



Really I've made this for years. It tastes just like Olive Garden's alfredo sauce but better.

Here is the cast of characters. Simple just a few things.


1 Pint of Heavy Cream (remember I didn't say it was low calorie or healthy)
1 Stick of Butter
2 Tbsp of Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
Parsley flakes = just for presentation if you have any on hand

In a saucepan combine the heavy cream, butter and cream cheese. If you don't like cream cheese don't worry. You really won't taste it because it is used to thicken the sauce and not add flavor.



 Simmer until the heavy cream, butter and cream cheese are melted. I like to make figure eights stirring the sauce but that is me and just something I like to do to pass the time. This isn't a sauce you turn on and walk away from.




 Add the parmesan cheese and garlic powder.



Simmer on low and continue to stir for 20 minutes. I tried this sauce with half and half but it isn't as good. It is healthier with half and half but it does lose some of the taste. I let everyone add salt and pepper to their own dish salt brings out the alfredo taste.



While this is cooking I cook my fettuccine noodles.



This is a rich sauce and since it isn't the healthiest I only make it a few times a year. It is usually a birthday dinner request.

I didn't have parsley flakes on hand this day but it does like pretty with a few sprinkled on top.



Try this super simple recipe. I love making it for a special night when my hubby and I decide to stay in and have a nice dinner for 2.

I put a little salt and pepper on my dish.

I hope you try this recipe and love it as much as my family does.
