This is a very quick and easy white sauce:
In a medium saucepan combine 1 pint whipping cream, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, and 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese. Cook over medium low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken upon standing.

i assume you mean Alfredo sauce..so here is a recipe.
Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce
PREP TIME 5 Min
COOK TIME 5 Min
READY IN 10 Min
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 2 cups milk
* 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
here's another with a bit of different ingredients..
Alfredo Sauce Recipe
1/2 stick butter
4 cloves minced garlic (You can also use the pre-chopped kind that comes in a jar)
1 cup heavy cream
4 T chopped parsley to taste
cayenne pepper (makes the sauce turn pink, optional)
2 t freshly ground pepper
salt to taste
1.5 cups shredded asiago cheese (or freshly shredded parmesan)
Melt the butter in a large pan, saute garlic briefly, but don't let it brown. Add cream, parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt. Stir with a whisk to combine and cook until heated through and it starts to thicken. Gradually add cheese and stir (once you add the cheese, you should stir with something besides a whisk).
