How to make Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo sauce is one of the most popular Italian sauces.

Many people rate Italian restaurants by their Alfredo sauce. Now you should know that Alfredo sauce isn’t hard to make. You can easily make a very tasty plate of pasta at home. They key is good quality ingredients. Don’t skip on the butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. While this dish may not be the healthiest choice in dining, it is a nice treat.

Do use good quality butter, and cream. I have found that buying them relatively close to before you make the dish is a good idea. Sometimes butter and cream can pick up flavors from your fridge. When it comes to the Parmesan cheese, be sure to use good quality cheese. If the cheese comes in a can, please use some fresh Parmesan cheese. You will be rewarded with a flavorful sauce if you do.

1 ½ C. Butter
2 C. grated Parmesan Cheese
1 ½ C. Heavy Cream plus 2 Tbsp.
1 lb. dried pasta

Prepare pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter, heavy cream, and half of the Parmesan cheese, cook over low to medium heat. When the pasta is done drain and pour into a bowl. Then add the melted cheese mixture to the pasta. Combine and then add the remaining Parmesan cheese. If you like you can add some salt, and white pepper to season.

Mixing the sauce with the pasta is an Italian way to serve up this particular dish. It coats the pasta well, and gives you a delicious bit of sauce in every bite. You do not need to rinse your pasta. Following these directions you can make delicious Alfredo sauce at home.

I’ve worked for the Pasta House Co. for many years and have acquired quite a few of their “secret” recipes. Hope you enjoy!

10 ounces cooked Fettuccine noodles
8 ounces cream (Half & Half)
1 ounce Butter
1/4 cup FRESH grated Parmigianino Cheese

Cook noodles in salted water until 3/4 done; strain off water and put noodles back in pot. Add cream and butter. Bring to a hard boil. When noodles are fully cooked, removed from heat; add parmigiano cheese and cracked black pepper. Toss and serve.

Alfredo sauce may taste like it is difficult to make, and that you may slave away on it all day, but guess what, you can make this dish easily at home. You might say our recipe is a clone of the original recipe, as it tastes just like the the Alfredo sauce from the restaurant.

10 oz. dry Fettuccine noodles
8 oz. Half & Half
1 oz. Butter
1/4 C. grated Parmesan (Parmigianino- this is a brand name, highly recommended) Cheese

Cook noodles in salted water until 3/4 done; strain off water and put noodles back in pot. Add cream and butter. Bring to a hard boil. When noodles are fully cooked, removed from heat; add Parmigianino cheese and cracked black pepper. Toss and serve.
This is really best tossed together before serving, as the pasta gets a better coating this way.

Red Lobster Crab Alfredo

Stephanie — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:26:23 +0000

This recipe is very similar to the Olive Garden version, with a couple exceptions. Their sauce is a lighter sauce, so use half and half on this. Also buy a good brand name Parmagganio Romano cheese for this.

1 pint of Half and Half
1 stick of unsalted Butter
2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
1/2 – 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. Garlic powder
4 – 6 Crab legs

In a saucepan melt butter. When butter is melted add the cream cheese. When the cream cheese is softened add heavy cream and the Parmesan Cheese. Add Garlic Powder, and stir well. Simmer this for 15 – 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper. Once again, a true person would not use the cream cheese, but it does help thicken the sauce up, without much difference to the taste, you can omit it, just be prepared to stay with the sauce a little longer to thicken it. Boil crab legs as you normally would in boiling water, crack open legs, lightly paper towel the meats so that you get the excess water off, and place the meats on top of the alfredo sauce and pasta.

Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

Stephanie — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 01:37:32 +0000

The rich creamy sauce can be made at home. This recipe was one of the first ones that was attempted. It is one of our favorites. Please note, there is no actual cream cheese their recipe, I suggest adding just a bit to help with the texture of the sauce.

1 pint of heavy cream
1/4 pound of butter (one stick)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1/2 – 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder

In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 – 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper. I have done this with half and half, but we prefer the heavy cream. But I wouldn’t try it with plain milk.
