Ina Garten Alfredo Sauce Recipe
Ina Garten's Alfredo sauce is all about simplicity—just a few quality ingredients come together for a smooth, rich finish!Mixing butter, cream, and freshly grated Parmesan creates a sauce that clings beautifully to pasta.I always cook the garlic gently, letting it soften without taking on too much color.Slowly stirring in the cheese instead of dumping it in at once keeps the sauce silky instead of lumpy.A pinch of salt and a little nutmeg enhance the ingredients without overwhelming the balance.
