Alfredo Sauce image

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.

This sauce was a disaster! It curdled and I had to throw it out.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra seasonings to make it more flavorful.

This Alfredo sauce was a hit with my family! It was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. I served it over pasta, but it would also be great on chicken or vegetables.
