Rich and creamy! I have found that Parmesan cheese doesn't melt well, and often substitute Gruyere cheese.

Tips:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-packaged grated Parmesan cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the sauce.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use whole milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- To make a vegetarian Alfredo sauce, you can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the simmering sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- To make a more flavorful sauce, you can add herbs and spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Serve Alfredo sauce over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
