Alfredo Sauce Recipe

By:


Alfredo di Lelio of Rome, Italy, is the creator of the original Alfredo Sauce. Presently there are two types of it, the Italian or the American kind. Italian one is always lots of butter and Parmesan cheese. In American restaurants, more ingredients are added to the Italian mixture, including heavy cream, sometimes nutmeg, basil, or other seasonings. This dish is popular with fetuccine pasta, but can also be served with chicken or vegetables.

It compliments a variety of wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot, Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. Instead of creating the sauce from scratch, it can also be bought from the grocery store, in jars near the spaghetti sauce. Note, that persons who are lactose intolerant may not handle this recipe well.

Ingredients

2 cup cream (heavy, or 35% cream is ideal

1/4 cup cold butter

1/4cup parmesan cheese, grated

Salt

White pepper

Pasta

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Extra parmesan cheese

Method

1.Heat a large saucepan over high heat until very hot. Add enough cold water to cover the bottom of the pan. Let the water evaporate but ensure there are a few drops left in the pan. This should keep the cream from scorching and burning on the bottom of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat.

2.Add the cream to the pan and return it to the heat. When the cream starts to boil, reduce heat to medium or medium high and continue to boil until it is reduced by half.

3.In the meantime cook pasta in well salted water according to package directions. Drain well when cooked.

4.when the cream is reduced remove it from the heat. Add butter 1 tablespoon at a time and whisk it in. The cream should thicken and turn glossy. Add the cheese and hot pasta to the cream. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

5.Serve immediately with added parmesan if preferred.
