Homemade Alfredo Sauce

Here's my recipe for simple Alfredo sauce. It makes a lot but we like a lot of sauce on our pasta and it graciously covers 1 box of fettuccine pasta.

Alfredo Sauce

1 stick butter, cut into pieces for quicker melting

½ cup flour

2-4 cups cream or milk

1 cup parmesan cheese

3 large cloves garlic, minced (I like garlic so I use a lot, you can adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter and flour over medium-low heat for a minute or two until well blended, do not brown.  Slowly add the milk, the mixture may clump but keep mixing and it will become smooth and creamy. Add milk until desired consistency is reached. I prefer thick Alfredo sauce, but some may like it a bit runnier.  Add the parmesan cheese and gently stir until melted.
