- Add Garlic Salt to taste (at least 1 tsp).
- Add Cream.
- Melt in slowly at least 4 Tbsp of paramesan or Tbsp for every person over 4 people, i.e. 6 people - 6 Tbsp.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will give you the best flavor.
- Don't boil the cream. Keep the heat on low and stir constantly, or the cream may curdle.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help prevent the sauce from getting watery.
- Serve Alfredo sauce immediately. It's best when it's hot and creamy.
- If you have leftover Alfredo sauce, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
