THE REALTOR'S SUPERB ALFREDO SAUCE



The Realtor's Superb Alfredo Sauce image

This is my personal alfredo recipe that I've been tweaking for 20 years. It is the best alfredo I've ever tasted and it's restaurant quality all the way. You'll be surprised how easy it is to make something that tastes so good. It's NOT diet food but well worth the occasional indulgence! This recipe makes enough sauce for a 4 layer, 13x9 white lasagna (about 5 cups of sauce). If you're using no-boil lasagna noodles, add an extra half cup of milk and a half cup of cream. If you're using the sauce for something like shrimp or chicken alfredo and you're using a pound of pasta, cut this recipe in half.

Provided by Realtor by day

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 5 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk (I use 1%)
1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese
1/2 cup regular butter
3/4 teaspoon black pepper (use 1/4 tsp if you make a half recipe)
1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder
1 1/2 cups grated romano cheese (you can use parmesan but up it to 2 cups because it's not as strong tasting)

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients EXCEPT the cheese to a heavy bottom sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until it's smooth, very hot and steaming but DON'T boil it. Whisk (or stir) the sauce pretty much the whole time. It'll take about 8-10 minutes. Don't rush it or turn the heat up too high because you don't want to curdle the cream.
  • When everything is nice and smooth and hot, add the cheese and whisk until the sauce is smooth and hot again but don't let it boil, about 5 more minutes. At this point, the sauce should be thick, delicious and ready to use.
  • It will keep in the frig for about a week but the taste and texture is best when it's made fresh. So if you don't need a big batch, cut this recipe in half.

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon drained capers
½ teaspoon lemon zest

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese contains cellulose, which can make your sauce grainy.
  • Use cold butter. This will help the sauce thicken and prevent it from curdling.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling or burning.
  • Stir the sauce constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Homemade Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy, flavorful Alfredo sauce that will impress your friends and family.
