ALFREDO SAUCE



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.

ALFREDO SAUCE

This is my son's favorite meal. I make it with shrimp for him for his birthday every year. GREAT for company because it is so easy and yet taste wonderful! I cook this in the microwave, but I'm sure you could do it on the stove too. Times are what work in my microwave. Please use your own good judgment on times to use in your microwave. (In my quest to eat healthier, I now make it with light butter, light cream and reduced fat Parmesan cheese. It still tastes wonderful, but there isn't any guilt!) PLEASE NOTE! This is an "authentic" Alfredo sauce recipe! Real Alfredo sauce *only* contains butter, cream, Parmesan cheese and pepper. It will be thin and there is no garlic in it! If you want a thicker sauce or one with garlic like modern restaurants serve, please look elsewhere! Recipe #52892 and Recipe #8596 are two good places to start.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 lb sweet butter (1/2 cup, light butter works fine!)
1 cup heavy cream or 1 cup light cream
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Place butter in microwave safe pot and heat on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
  • Add cream and warm on high for approximately 1 minute.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and warm until cheese melts.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. (If serving with shrimp, you might not need much salt.).
  • Pour over 4 servings of warm noodles (I use angel hair) and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • Notes: I serve it with cubed, grilled or broiled chicken breast mixed in with the noodles or shrimp. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal. I have used margarine and canned Parmesan cheese and it worked fine.

BROWN BUTTER ALFREDO SAUCE



Brown Butter Alfredo Sauce image

Some sauce tips: Always use real Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself. Canned Parmesan will result in a grainy texture in your sauce. Bring the Parmesan to room temperature by letting it sit on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes once it is shredded. Cheese that is at room temperature will melt and blend evenly, helping you attain a creamy and smooth texture to your sauce.
