Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce in 15 Minutes image

We created this sauce with milk because most families have milk in the fridge. If you want to use heavy cream, then just eliminate the flour and replace the milk with heavy cream. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of sauce.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter ((1/2 stick))
4 cloves garlic (, minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder))
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon dried herbs ((basil, oregano, thyme, etc.))
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt (, or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a sauce pan on medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add garlic and cook translucent and fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Whisk in flour and continue whisking to remove large clumps.

NO-CREAM ALFREDO SAUCE



No-Cream Alfredo Sauce image

Traditional Roman fettucine Alfredo doesn't contain a drop of cream or milk, so whether you have none in your refrigerator or you are a traditionalist, this is the recipe for you. Just because there's no cream, however, doesn't mean it isn't over the top with richness and flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
6 ounces Parmesan, freshly grated (about 2 cups)
1 pound dried fettuccine
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Put the butter and cheese in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, according to the package instructions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the large bowl. Using tongs, gently toss the pasta with the butter and cheese, adding pasta water as necessary to create a creamy looking sauce. Top with a few grinds of pepper.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-packaged Parmesan often contains additives and fillers that can affect the flavor of the sauce.
  • Don't boil the sauce. Keep the heat on low and simmer the sauce gently, stirring frequently. This will prevent the sauce from curdling or separating.
  • Add the pasta water to the sauce gradually. This will help you achieve the perfect consistency for your sauce. Start with a small amount of pasta water and add more as needed.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious Alfredo sauce at home. So next time you're looking for a creamy and flavorful sauce, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
