Simple and uncomplicated is what makes a good alfredo sauce. Try this one and you will not go back to a pitiful jarred brand. Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream |
1 1/2 cups shredded parmesan cheese (it's ok to use one of those pre-grated bags of fresh parm cheese but don't use the stuff from a gree) |
1/4 lb unsalted butter, melted |
1 garlic clove (a large one finely minced or squeezed thru a garlic press) |
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
2 teaspoons cornstarch, made into a slurry with |
1 tablespoon cold water |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave on a low wattage. I melt in the micro so as to not scorch it. If butter is browned in the least little bit throw it out and start over. The sauce is ruined if you proceed.
2. In a hot sauce pan cook garlic in a tsp of oil until fragrant and then add melted butter, cream, pepper, and parm cheese.
3. Heat it SLOWLY until everything is melted and combined, Constantly stirring with a whisk. It won't take long maybe 3-4 minutes.
4. Add cornstarch/water mixture and simmer until thickened. Two minutes or so.
5. Serve sauce immediately over linguine noodles topped with grilled chicken breast strips or shrimp.
