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.

ALFREDO SAUCE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
I was looking throught my freezer and cabinets and came across some Italian Sausage and jarred Alfredo sauce. And since I didn't want the usual Italian sausage with red sauce,and wasn't in the mood for regular alfredo. This is what came out of the dark corners of my brain :)Please feel free to use red,green or yellow peppers. Or if feeling really creative try all three.;).I used Angel Hair pasta, but you can use your favorite type of pasta. Submitted to "ZAAR" on July 18th,2008.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, and good-quality cream will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce.
- Don't boil the cream: Boiling the cream will cause it to curdle. Instead, heat it over low heat until it is just simmering.
- Add the cheese slowly: Gradually whisk the Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture to prevent it from clumping.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce and add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
- Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, you can do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from pasta to vegetables. By following the tips above, you can make a perfect Alfredo sauce that your family and friends will love.
