Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat and cook till it is browned lightly, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Quickly toss the garlic in and cook an additional 15-20 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is fully browned. Pour the heavy cream in with the salt and pepper and whisk very frequently till the mixture reduces by about 1/3, about 7-10 minutes.

This makes enough sauce to serve over 1 pound of pasta.

Notes

You can skip browning the butter and just make this as a normal alfredo sauce too.

Mix in a warmed peas or cooked chicken breast or even crumbled bacon for a more complete meal.
