Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

The other day our neighbor gave us eight quarts of heavy whipping cream.  Eight.  And when life gives you heavy cream, you make alfredo (and ice cream, and butter, and creamy soups...).  I found this delicious knock off recipe on Top Secret Recipes, and if you happen to have eight quarts of heavy cream that you need to use, this is definitely the recipe for you!

Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce
from: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes, by Todd Wilbur.

1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 c. heavy cream
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
pinch salt
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the garlic, heavy cream, pepper and salt and let it simmer over a low heat.  Add the cheese and continue simmering for 8 minutes or until it thickens up.  Remove it from the heat and serve it over your favorite pasta.
