Uncle Joe knew three things... how to sing Italian love songs to his wife, how to tell a dirty joke, and how to eat and drink well. This is my homage to Uncle Joe (who took the recipe to the grave) for his Alfredo sauce gathered from taste, convention, and spying on him while cooking. It is amazing, and I'm sure Joe will haunt me for sharing his treasure. Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3/4 cup butter |
4 cups heavy cream |
4 garlic cloves (very, very finely minced) |
2/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated) |
1/3 cup romano cheese (grated) |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (a nickel sized pinch) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Add oil to saucepan over low heat.
2. Melt butter in pan.
3. Add garlic to pan, do not allow to brown. Allow to cook for two minutes.
4. Add cream, salt, and pepper to mixture, increase heat so that mixture barely reaches a simmer.
5. Stir and incorporate cheese slowly, 1/3 total at a time.
6. Continue to simmer about 10 minutes.
7. Serve immediately over pasta or refrigerate to store.
