Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese not packed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 package gluten free pasta cooked and drained - See notes for recommendations
Instructions
- In small saucepan, heat cream over medium heat, stirring often. Watch it closely and when you start to see steam, begin to add the parmesan cheese.
- Add parmesan cheese about ¼ cup at a time, whisking until the cheese has melted before adding more.
- Once all cheese has been added and is melted, add garlic. Serve over prepared pasta.
- Refrigerate any leftovers. You can re-heat in the microwave or on the stove, it reheats well and works best if stored separately from any leftover pasta.
Notes
Gluten free pasta is especially prone to being overcooked. It goes from not done to mushy in a hot minute, so watch your pasta carefully! No need to add oil to the water, it actually can prevent the sauce from sticking as well.
Use only fresh parmesan you grate yourself, and add it gradually.
Use any kind of pasta you like! While alfredo sauce is usually served with fettuccine noodles, it also tastes great with rotini, penne, or even spaghetti.
