The Best Alfredo Sauce

This recipe is from Rebecca Swift

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup heavy cream-can just be whipping cream
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese--must be fresh!
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve. Serves 4

Optional: I sauted onions in olive oil until almost clear and then added chopped mushrooms and rosemary. I set this aside and when the Alfredo sauce was finished I added it before serving over pasta.  I also added grilled chicken strips. Costco has some really great frozen ones than you just have to heat--they're already seasoned.
