Alfredo - Olive Garden Copycat

Olive Garden Alfredo

1 pkg Pasta (penne or fettuccine)

1 stick of butter

1 clove of minced garlic

1 pint of heavy cream

1 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp cream cheese

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp white pepper

Cook the Pasta al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for two minutes stirring constantly, then add in heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring constantly. Heat until the mixture begins to bubble along the sides, but do not boil.

Add in Parmesan Cheese, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce is fully incorporated, but do not boil it as that will cause the cream to curdle.

Serve over hot (drained & rinsed) pasta of your choice and add a lovely side salad to complete the meal.
