Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Buttery Alfredo Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by melting unsalted butter in a spacious pot over medium heat, allowing its rich aroma to fill the air.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, introduce minced garlic and all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for about a minute until the garlic releases its fragrant essence without turning brown.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in heavy cream and whole milk, maintaining a steady stir until the mixture heats up and thickens slightly, which should take around ten minutes.
Step 4
Next, gently fold in freshly shredded Parmesan and fontina cheeses, stirring until they melt seamlessly into the creamy sauce.
Step 5
To elevate the flavor, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then let the sauce simmer for an additional twenty to thirty minutes, stirring frequently until it reaches your desired thickness.
Step 6
Enjoy the process as the sauce transforms into a velvety delight, perfect for drizzling over your favorite dishes.
