Easy Microwave Creamy Alfredo Sauce

This is a rich sauce made very simply in the microwave. Dinner can be on the table in just a few minutes if using fresh pasta. I acquired this recipe many years ago from our local newspaper.

• Ready In: 7 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup  whipping cream, 35%
• 1⁄4 cup butter (no substitutes)
• 1  cup parmesan cheese, grated
•  fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a 1 quart dish, micro-cook cream and butter at high for 2-3 minutes or until very hot. Stir in parmesan cheese and pepper and toss with hot cooked pasta.
2. I usually top with fresh parsley to dress it up.
3. Variations: Mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, shrimp and/or chicken can all be added but must be cooked before hand.
