Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and broth and bring to a boil. Continue to boil while stirring for 1 minute.
  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and garlic salt, and simmer while stirring for about 5 minutes so that the cheese can melt and the sauce can reduce slightly. 
  • Remove from the heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days. 
Reheating: place the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan, add a little milk or chicken broth to thin it out, and heat it slowly while stirring constantly.
