Making the Alfredo Sauce
- 01Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 02Use a whisk to combine the flour and the butter. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and just slightly darker than when you started.
- 03Add in 1/2 cup of the milk and whisk into the flour mixture until a dough forms. Keep adding milk 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth.
- 04Once you've added all of the milk, whisk continually until bubbly and cook for 5 more minutes.
- 05Add in the minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute
- 06Turn off the heat and add in your parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- 07Whisk together until smooth and serve over pasta immediately.
