IS CREAMY GARLIC PARM THE SAME AS ALFREDO?

No. Traditional Alfredo sauce does not contain garlic.

HOW TO MELT PARMESAN INTO SAUCE?

Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and provides a smoother texture. Use a whisk or spoon to stir the sauce continuously. Keep the heat on low to medium. High heat can cause the cheese to clump or become stringy.

HOW DO I MAKE THIS GLUTEN-FREE?

Ensure you use gluten-free flour or use a gluten-free thickener like xanthan gum to keep the sauce gluten-free.

CAN I MAKE THIS VEGAN?

Substitute the heavy cream with a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream and swap the parmesan cheese for vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.

Instructions

Heat the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Add Garlic and Sauté: Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the melted butter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Add Flour: Sprinkle in the flour, whisking continuously to form a roux. Cook for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Add Cream: Slowly pour in the organic heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture starts to thicken.

Incorporate Parmesan: Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Season: Add sea salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste, stirring well to combine.

Serve: Remove from heat and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before using.

Notes

Don't overcook the garlic: Saute the garlic just until fragrant. Overcooking the garlic can make it bitter.

Seasoning: taste the sauce before adding more salt so you don't over-season.

Too thick? Add some more cream.

Too thin? If it's too thin, let it simmer a bit longer, or mix a small amount of flour with cold water and stir it into the sauce.
