Olive Garden Alfredo (Chelsea)

1/2 cup butter  (1 stick)
2 cloves garlic minced (I add a little more)
2 cups heavy cream
about 1/8 tspn black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over med/low heat.  Add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, bring mixture to a simmer.  Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over.  You just want a simmer.  Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick. 

Serve over cooked pasta.    

I usually add a little garlic salt to taste while cooking the sauce.  I also add chicken on top.
