Easy and Exceptionally Wonderful Alfredo Sauce

Velvety and delightfully decadent, this Alfredo sauce recipe will be one you will come back to, time and again. It is so simple to make and requires only a few ingredients. Serve it on any sort of pasta you like, but be sure to keep the sauce a little loose and add slightly undercooked pasta to it with a little of the pasta water. The pasta will finish cooking in the sauce. Add fresh herbs just before serving. ENJOY!
