alfredo sauce

We recently had some friends over for dinner and Chef Jeff made a delicious chicken alfredo pasta dish. My friend asked for the recipe for the alfredo sauce. It is NOT a low fat sauce, but it is delicious!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 pound butter
  • 1 cup cream
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions
  1. Melt butter in saucepan
  2. Add cream
  3. Add cheese
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste
  5. Stir until smooth
It's delicious over pasta (for a meatless dish) or with cubed chicken!

  1. well to be honest i always wondered what made an alfredo sauce different from a plain white sauce. more fat, i guess, is the answer. mmmm.

  2. Add diced green chili's to your sauce and top with roasted pinon nuts for a New Mexican twist to your yummy meal!

  3. I like that idea Dixie! Will try! I always make a white sauce and use it as an Alfredo sauce. Not much difference...I think Melissa Marie may be right about the amount of cream vs. milk.
