A rich and creamy garlic Parmesan Alfredo sauce perfect for pasta or as a dipping sauce.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the sauce.
Add the softened cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily.
Pour in the heavy cream and whisk to combine.
Whisk continuously to prevent the cream from scorching.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Simmer the sauce, whisking frequently, until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
Keep the heat medium-low to avoid burning the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan and Romano cheeses.
Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and integrated.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite pasta or as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
