Instructions
Making Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
2. Add Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Pour in Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir well to combine with the melted butter and garlic.
4. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add Parmesan: Slowly whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it completely melts and combines into a creamy sauce.
6. Season: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add Italian seasoning if desired for an extra layer of flavor.
7. Remove from Heat: Once the sauce is smooth and thickened to your liking, remove it from heat.
8. Serve Immediately: Toss the Alfredo sauce with your cooked pasta or serve it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
Following these steps will ensure you achieve the creamy and delicious texture that Copycat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce is famous for.
