How to Make Alfredo Sauce
By Stephanie Manley
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.
½ C. Butter
2 C. grated Parmesan Cheese
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.
