Alfredo sauce is a classic Italian sauce that has a creamy and delicious flavor profile. It is the perfect accompaniment to pasta dishes, chicken, seafood and vegetables. Cream cheese is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many recipes, including Alfredo sauce, to add a creamy and tangy flavor.

Here’s how to prepare Alfredo sauce with cream cheese:

Ingredients:

– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tsp. garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the cream cheese and stir constantly until it is fully melted.

2. Add the heavy cream and stir until the mixture is well combined. Increase the heat to medium and let the mixture heat up.

3. Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

4. Continue to cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, taking about 10 minutes. Be sure to not let the sauce boil or overheat, as it can cause it to become grainy.

5. Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency remove from heat and serve immediately. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Tips:

– Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese as opposed to pre-grated, pre-packaged cheese will yield a creamier and smoother sauce.
– You can substitute half and half or whole milk in place of the heavy cream for a lighter version of the sauce.
– Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or veggies to the sauce for a hearty and flavorful meal.
– If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out by adding more heavy cream.

Alfredo sauce with cream cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that can elevate any dish. It’s the perfect sauce to impress your friends and family at your next dinner party. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and will leave you with a delicious and creamy sauce that everyone will love. Enjoy!
