ALFREDO SAUCE
Alfredo de Lello, a Roman restaurateur, created this rich, silky sauce, which is meant to be tossed with fettuccine, but it can also be used in many other ways: Drizzle it over seared chicken breasts, simmered beans or roasted vegetables, or toss it with any number of ingredients. Classically made with heavy cream, butter and Parmesan, it is an easy sauce that can be whipped up in minutes using staples from the fridge. As a buttery, blank canvas, it also lends itself to a number of seasonings: Add some fresh tarragon, dried herbs or a pinch of turmeric or saffron, and it takes on a whole new personality.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the cream and egg yolk together until combined; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into the garlic butter, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the Parmesan little by little, and cook over medium, whisking frequently, until creamy and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with pepper.
