Basic Alfredo Sauce
- 1 pound pasta
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups milk (I use 2% but you can use whatever)
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (fresh is best!)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Boil your pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside
- Meanwhile, melt your butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When melted, whisk in your flour and let cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, whisking constantly
- Add your milk, whisk to combine, and season with salt and pepper
- Bring to a simmer and simmer until thickened (the cheese will thicken it further)
- Add your cheese and garlic powder, stir to combine, and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Stir in pasta and serve!
