Taken from Micro Ways cookbook written by my good friend Norene Gilletz - there's enough sauce to combine with 1 pound of noodles, if you are doubling this recipe make it separately not in the same pyrex cup - follow microwave times and you will have a perfect alfredo sauce, the Parmesan cheese may be increase to taste - this will separate if heated the following day so I suggest to use it all at one time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (no subs!) |
1 -2 teaspoon minced garlic (can use a bit more only if you like extreme garlic taste!) |
1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped) |
1 pinch nutmeg (optional) |
1/8 teaspoon basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor) |
1 -1 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Place butter and garlic in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup.
2. Microwave uncovered in HIGH for 2 minutes.
3. Remove and stir in whipping cream, nutmeg (if using) basil and black pepper.
4. Return to the microwave uncovered on HIGH for another 2-3 minutes, until bubbling.
5. Remove and stir in Parmesan cheese, return to the microwave for 2-3 minutes longer until thick and smooth.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
