This is my son's favorite meal. I make it with shrimp for him for his birthday every year. GREAT for company because it is so easy and yet taste wonderful! I cook this in the microwave, but I'm sure you could do it on the stove too. Times are what work in my microwave. Please use your own good judgement on times to use in your microwave. (In my quest to eat healthier, I now make it with light butter, light cream and reduced fat Parmesan cheese. It still tastes wonderful, but there isn't any guilt!)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 lb sweet butter (1/2 cup, light butter works fine!)
1 cup heavy cream or light cream
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Directions

1
Place butter in microwave safe pot and heat on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
2
Add cream and warm on high for approximately 1 minute.
3
Add Parmesan cheese and warm until cheese melts.
4
Add salt and pepper to taste. (If serving with shrimp, you might not need much salt.).
5
Pour over 4 servings of warm noodles (I use angel hair) and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
6
Notes: I serve it with cubed, grilled or broiled chicken breast mixed in with the noodles or shrimp. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal. I have used margarine and canned Parmesan cheese and it worked fine.

I will never buy a mix or ready made alfredo sauce again!! This recipe was so easy and so delicious. My husband thought it was wonderful. We did not use the light cream because it seemed wrong. (We only eat this rich occassionally.) Thanks for posting such a fabulous recipe.

Loved it for the second time! It is soooo easy and makes me look like such a great cook. I season my broccoli and chicken very well before I make the sauce and I don't need to add any extra spices. I had to make a double portion and I was low on parmesan so I added a handful of shredded mexican cheese and the change was still good and the color didn't change like I feared.

Can I only give it five stars???? This is INCREDIBLE! I even made it with margarine and the canned parmesan (sorry), and it's amazing. I'm pretty sure I would just like to drink it, and skip those pesky noodles! I just melted the margarine in the pan with the cream and added the other ingredients, and wow, is it good. And so easy too. No wonder your son loves this so much. I do too! Edited to add: It does reheat well, just make sure to whisk the mixture well so that it gets creamy again. The graininess will go away. Great recipe!
