Alfredo Sauce with Cream Cheese Pasta Recipe ready in 5 minutes for a creamy rich meal that will satisfy your dinner cravings fast

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of pasta (fettuccine recommended, but any pasta works)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

    • Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions minus one minute to keep it al dente. Drain and reserve about a cup of pasta water.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté gently for about a minute until fragrant, without browning.
  • Lower heat to medium-low. Add softened cream cheese cubes to the skillet, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until melted and smooth.
  • Gradually pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously, cooking for 3-4 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen sauce.
  • Turn off heat. Slowly stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, being careful as Parmesan adds saltiness.
  • Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat evenly. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
