Keto Alfredo Sauce

 Cook Time 5 minutes -  Servings 6

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup butter or 1 stick

• 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely shredded

• 1-2 tsp garlic finely minced (Substitute 1/4-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)

• 1/2 tsp sea salt optional

• 1/2 ground pepper optional

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan.

2. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil.

3. Turn down the heat to a simmer and mix in the parmesan cheese, garlic, and optional salt and pepper.

4. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes stirring frequently.

5. Serve immediately.

6. Cool and refrigerate leftovers. Sauce lasts for 4-5 days. It will harden in the refrigerator but reliquefy quickly when warmed in a pan on the stovetop. I recommend using glass as it retains the flavor better.

Recipe Notes

1 clove of garlic minced makes about 1 teaspoon.

The Parmesan cheese should be finely grated else it doesn't dissolve as well in the sauce.
