Description

This creamy homemade Alfredo sauce with milk, Parmesan cheese, and garlic is quick to make and pairs perfectly with pasta, shrimp, or chicken.

• 1/4 cup butter, or more to taste

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (such as Kraft®)

• 2 cups milk

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• 1 pinch ground black pepper

1 Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; add garlic and sauté until golden, about 1 minute.

2 Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in flour until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.

3 Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and mixture is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

4 Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 5 minutes.

5 Season to taste with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until sauce reaches desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.
