Alfredo Sauce ~ Italy - Twitchin Kitten - 11-03-2008
This is easy to make, delicious and will make a tasty lunch the next day. I posted this for a large amount so you can have left-overs. Ask for smaller sized recipe if you need it. I'm adding variations at the bottom as well. Enjoy!
Alfredo Sauce
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley (Italian parsley)
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through.
Stir in parsley and serve over fettuccine pasta.
Note: do NOT let the above boil!
Variation: Add some fresh broccoli to this dish. Sauté broccoli florets in garlic and olive oil and toss on top. You can also do the same with:
asparagus
peas
brussels sprouts
Add some chicken breasts for a more hearty meal. Pound boneless breasts very thin and sauté in olive oil and garlic, season with Italian herbs. Cut into small bite sized pieces and serve over pasta with sauce.
