Ingredients

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 quart heavy cream
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 oz White American cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Make the dry Alfredo mix by combining the Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a bowl. Store this mix tightly sealed for future use.
2. Step 2: To prepare the sauce, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
3. Step 3: Whisk in all of the dry Alfredo mix into the boiling cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
4. Step 4: Stir in the crushed garlic and White American cheese, if using, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Step 5: Pour the sauce over 1 pound of cooked fettuccine noodles and add 1 pound of cooked chicken, tossing gently to combine.

Tips & Variations

• For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with whole milk, though the sauce will be less thick.
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese works best for the dry mix to ensure smooth melting.
• Add chopped parsley or basil for a fresh herb flavor.
• If you prefer a garlic boost, sauté the crushed garlic in a little butter before adding it to the sauce.

Storage

Store any unused dry Alfredo mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months. Prepared Alfredo sauce should be refrigerated in a sealed container and used within 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning or separation.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the Alfredo sauce without the White American cheese?

Yes, the White American cheese is optional and adds extra creaminess, but the sauce will still be delicious without it using the Parmesan-based dry mix.

How should I reheat leftover Alfredo sauce?

Reheat Alfredo sauce slowly on the stove over low heat, stirring often. Adding a splash of milk or cream while reheating can help restore the sauce’s smooth texture.

• Use freshly crushed garlic for best flavor; garlic powder can be substituted if necessary.
• For a thicker sauce, allow the mixture to simmer a few extra minutes after whisking in the dry mix.
