I have been making this killer Alfredo Sauce for years, pouring it over everything from chicken pasta to shrimp.

This is an easy to make recipe that you can crank out in ten minutes to put over your favorite pasta.

Don't let the short number of steps and ingredient list fool you. This is a great recipe!

eHow tells me I need to add 15 more words before I publish this article... even though it adds nothing to the article and has probably annoyed you. These were it. My apologies.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Parmesan cheese
butter
sour cream
milk/cream (possibly)

Step 1

Melt a stick of butter in a frying pan on low heat. Do not let the butter darken.
Step 2

Add a 1/2 cup of sour cream and heat until liquefied with the butter. be careful not to overheat the mixture.
Step 3

Sprinkle real Parmesan cheese (I use Kraft) onto the mixture. I usually add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on taste.
Step 4

This makes a very thick sauce, for a thinner sauce you can cut it with milk or cream.

Tips & Warnings

This is a super easy recipe and very low carb, and unbelievably tasty
Substitute Yogurt for sour cream, and olive oil for butter to make it a bit healthier, albeit a little less tasty.
While this is low carb, it undoubtedly has a ton of calories. Take Heed.
do not let the mixture boil, or overheat the butter as it will ruin the flavor. The butter should not brown while being cooked.
