Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo Sauce

¼ c (1/2 stick) butter

1 cup cream

½ tsp tomato paste (optional)

¼ c grated parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Heat cream and butter on low to medium heat until butter is melted.  Gradually add the cheese, whisking until melted before adding more.  Add tomato paste and whisk.  Heat gradually to boiling.  Boil 4 minutes or until sauce tightens (that means it will get noticeably thicker on its own).  Add salt and pepper.  Ta Da!  Done!  J
