Super rich and cheesy Alfredo sauce?!
Answers: I want to make OR buy an alfredo sauce like the one they serve at my school. Its super rich and thick, and very cheesy- yet smooth. Any recipes or recommendations on which to buy?
The Perfect Alfredo Sauce
1 1/2 pint (3 cups) heavy cream. (Usually says, “heavy whipping cream”)
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
3 Tablespoons cream cheese ( 1 1/2 ounces)
1 1/8 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves freshly minced garlic
1. In saucepan combine butter, heavy cream and cream cheese
2. Simmer until melted (do not boil), mix well. Add the Parmesan cheese and garlic.
3. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on low
4. Season with salt & pepper, if desired (I found no need for salt)
Creamy Rich Alfredo Sauce
This creamy chef-style sauce is definitely NOT for the weight watcher in your family. Its high fat content means a high cholesterol level so we don't eat this dish every night, but the sauce is so rich and yummy, just make it as a special treat for guests or special dinners. (For low-fat versions, see Variations)
Ingredients
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter or margarine
2-3 cloves of crushed garlic
? to ? pint cream or half-and-half
1 to 1-? c grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. ground mustard
Salt & Pepper
Over low heat, gently saute garlic in the butter until translucent. Add the cream, dry mustard, and Parmesan cheese, stirring gently. Continue stirring until cheese is completely melted and sauce reaches desired thickness. Add any pre-cooked bite-sized "extras" you desire, such as cooked vegetables, chicken, or seafood.
Add salt and pepper according to taste. Remove from heat and serve over hot fettucine noodles or any available pasta.
This sauce is especially delicious tossed with al dente spinach fettucine or bow-tie noodles garnished with parsley!
