So Simple Alfredo Sauce

This is an easy recipe. And delicious. And if you hold the bowl high enough, the calories will jump out. At least, that's how I rationalize it to myself.

Take:

3 tblsp butter

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup parmesan cheese

Put the cream and butter in a pan and let them come up to room temperature.  I'm not sure why that's important, but it makes for a better sauce.

Heat it up on medium until the butter melts.

Admire your parmesan cheese.  Say something supportive to it.

I have been accused, in the past, of adding more than a cup of parmesan cheese to this sauce.  I adamantly deny these accusations and blame the non-dairy lobbyists for these charges.  I intend to fight on and clear my name.

Once the butter has melted in the pan, whisk in the cheese.

Keep a-whisking while it's melting.  Feel free to boil some pasta and steam some broccoli while you're whisking, since I'm sure you have several extra hands.

Once you get to a thickness you're happy with, add it to some pasta and toss it together.

Mmmmm.

I add some broccoli to counter-act any lasting calories... bon appetit!

Three ingredients for that sauce... which is great because between episodes of The Office and reading eleventy-hundred blogs, I'm a busy gal.
