EASY MICROWAVE ALFREDO SAUCE
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream will make a big difference.
- Don't overcook the sauce. It should be thick and creamy, but not too thick or clumpy.
- 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.
