Recipe View 8 mins Season to taste with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed. Cook and stir until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, typically 5 to 10 minutes. For a richer flavor, simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For an extra smooth sauce, use a whisk instead of a spoon to prevent lumps from forming.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides the best flavor and texture. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, which may not melt as smoothly.
Adjust the amount of butter and milk to achieve your desired sauce consistency. More butter will result in a richer, thicker sauce, while more milk will create a thinner sauce.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Asiago or Pecorino Romano, to add unique flavor profiles to your Alfredo sauce.
Store leftover Alfredo sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through.
