Easy Pasta Alfredo step by step

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta al dente per package instructions. Use up to 1 pound dry pasta..
2. While boiling the pasta, place the remaining ingredients (except for the parmesan cheese) in a large sauté pan. Bring slowly to a simmer. Make certain to keep on low heat and watch carefully so milk does not scorch..
3. Once butter is melted and milk is at a low simmer, add the grated parmesan cheese. Whisk well over low heat for 5 minutes and sauce has slightly thickened. The sauce will appear runny, but will thicken when pasta is mixed in and allowed to cool..
4. Add drained pasta to the sauté pan and coat well with the sauce. Simmer on low heat until desired thickness is reached; no more than a couple of minutes. Leaving the alfredo sauce on the thinner side will keep it from getting too thick when cooled down..
5. Toss in your favorite vegetables or protein and dust with extra parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic bread and enjoy!.
