Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1-1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Melt butter, heavy whipping cream, and minced garlic to a skillet and heat on medium low heat, whisking frequently until thick and bubbly.
Reduce stove heat to low and stir in shredded Parmesan cheese.
Continue to whisk and mix Alfredo sauce ingredients on simmer until cheese is fully melted and incorporated. This can take some time so be patient. See notes for tips on consistency.
Once parmesan cheese and sauce is free from lumps, remove from the stove and serve on favorite low carb option like chicken or broccoli.

Notes

Alter consistency to thicker or thinner

Thicken: Add a bit of cream cheese to the saucepan if you desire a thicker sauce without a traditional roux (and still keeping alfredo sauce keto).

Thin: Add more heavy whipping cream till desired consistency is reached.

How to store Alfredo Sauce.

Like most cheesy sauces, the longer it sits and cools, the more it starts to thicken and firm. To store this sauce, place it in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To reheat, place back in a saucepan and slowly heat till melty and warm. Add a bit of heavy whipping cream to thin.

Can you freeze Alfredo Sauce?

Many food blogger recipes recommend putting sauce in freezer bags and freezing for a month. However, I have found that cheese can separate from the cold to the stove, so I avoid recommending this sauce as a freezer item.
