My Alfredo Sauce
This is my Go To Alfredo sauce and is cream based, not cream cheese based. This is easy to prepare and is well liked by everyone who has tried this. This doubles easily.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 tablespoon extra light olive oil
- 1/2 cup butter, (1 stick)
- 2 cups heavy cream, (1 pint)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat, when hot, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the butter and let melt.
- Add the heavy cream and cream cheese. Whisk until thickened.
- Whisk in the Parmesan, whisk until melted in and sauce is thickened. Do not let the sauce come to a boil after the cheese is added or the cheese may separate from the cream.
- Stir in your choice of cooked shrimp, cubed chicken, bacon, or crumbled Italian sausage and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to warm the added meat.
- Serve over fettuccine or pasta of your choice.
Notes
I will price this per serving when I return to Thailand, for now I will say this is Fair cost per serving.
Variants: 1. For 4 servings of sauce, consider meats at 500 g / 1 lb of cooked chicken, shrimp, Italian sausage, smoked sausage, or bacon. 2. Add 250 g / 8 oz of sliced, sauteed mushrooms in addition to Italian or smoked sausage.
