All you need are 6 ingredients and 10 minutes to make the most luxurious, creamy, cheesy garlic Alfredo sauce recipe. Perfect for pasta, gnocchi, and everything else!
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces + more for garnishing)
Steps
Place a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt the butter in the skillet.
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, for one minute, just until softened and fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown! The compounds in garlic will develop a bitter taste if it browns/burns.
Add the heavy whipping cream and the salt. Bring just to a simmer, stirring frequently, then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Heat until thickened and warmed through. Toss with pasta or gnocchi and serve immediately.
