Alfredo Sauce

1/2 stick butter (you can use margarine, but I think butter makes it taste better)

2 cups whipping cream

Salt and pepper (I shake them each like 5-6 times into the pan)

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

Just the smallest dash of cayenne pepper (you don't have to put this in, but I do (and I mean really tiny, like a small dot worth). It's small enough that it doesn't make it spicy at all but the recipe the I based this on had it in and I've done it ever since)

A little over 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese

1. Melt the butter and mix all the spices into the pan.

2. Add whipping cream and bring to a boil. Be careful because it will easily boil over. Medium-high heat is fine (Whipping cream works different from milk so it doesn't burn as easily)

3. I let it simmer (on medium-low heat), uncovered, about ten minutes. It's usually boiling at the same time that I'm cooking the noodles. About five minutes before the noodles are done, add in the cheese. (So, in total, it should have been simmering for about 15 minutes)
