Rich and creamy! I have found that Parmesan cheese doesn't melt well, and often substitute Gruyere cheese.

ALFREDO SAUCE
Beauty in simplicity. Great taste in simplicity. However you want to say it. No fancy cheeses you never heard of. Just... I'm sorry I'm not more creative in my words, but taste this see what I mean. For an extra flavorful sauce try adding 8oz. of cream cheese.

FANCY ALFREDO SAUCE
This recipe came from an old roommate of mine. Probably not terribly figure-friendly, and it doesn't freeze well at all, but it IS delicious and always gets rave reviews. I have experimented with adding various things like cooked chicked, shrimp and bacon; these are all good as long as they are well-drained before you add them. I also tried adding mushrooms... wasn't good, and I don't recommend that. I'm sure there are other things that can be added, so if you find something good, please let me know. YOU MUST STIR THIS CONSTANTLY because if it singes you will have to start all over.

Steps:

- Steam broccoli while onion is cooking. Drain and set aside.

- Add 1/2 cheese and stir until completely smooth.
- Add whipping cream and milk, bring almost to a boil.
- Add pepper and parsley.
- Add remaining cheese and egg whites. Stir until completely smooth and melted (should no longer appear grainy). This may take a little while, but you will know when it's happened because sauce will begin to look fluffy.
- If it's not thick enough combine cornstarch with a little bit of milk and add.
- Once the sauce is thick enough for you (and it will continue to thicken as it sits) stir in the onions and steamed broccoli, Serve over your favorite pasta.

Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, in particular, can make a big difference.
- Grate Your Own Parmesan: Pre-grated Parmesan cheese often contains additives and preservatives. Grating your own cheese ensures a fresher, more flavorful sauce.
- Use a Good Butter: The quality of the butter you use will also affect the flavor of the sauce. Use a high-quality, unsalted butter for the best results.
- Don't Overcook the Cream: Overcooked cream can curdle and ruin the sauce. Bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat and remove it from the heat as soon as it starts to bubble.
- Season to Taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. By following the tips above, you can make a creamy, flavorful Alfredo sauce that will impress your family and friends.
