EASY MICROWAVE ALFREDO SAUCE



Easy Microwave Alfredo Sauce image

Taken from "Micro Ways" cookbook written by my good friend Norene Gilletz at Gourmaia.com --- there's enough sauce to combine with 1 pound of noodles, if you are doubling this recipe make it separately not in the same pyrex cup --- follow microwave times and you will have a perfect alfredo sauce, the Parmesan cheese may be increase to taste -- this will separate if heated the following day so I suggest to use it all at one time.

  • If you're using a microwave-safe bowl, make sure it's large enough to hold the sauce without boiling over.
  • Stir the sauce every 30 seconds or so to prevent it from scorching.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or water to thin it out.
  • If the sauce is too thin, cook it for a few more minutes, or add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or chicken.
