ALFREDO SAUCE



Alfredo Sauce image

Alfredo de Lello, a Roman restaurateur, created this rich, silky sauce, which is meant to be tossed with fettuccine, but it can also be used in many other ways: Drizzle it over seared chicken breasts, simmered beans or roasted vegetables, or toss it with any number of ingredients. Classically made with heavy cream, butter and Parmesan, it is an easy sauce that can be whipped up in minutes using staples from the fridge. As a buttery, blank canvas, it also lends itself to a number of seasonings: Add some fresh tarragon, dried herbs or a pinch of turmeric or saffron, and it takes on a whole new personality.

Time 10m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons butter
1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
1 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the cream and egg yolk together until combined; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into the garlic butter, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in the Parmesan little by little, and cook over medium, whisking frequently, until creamy and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh Parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, and heavy cream will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Alfredo sauce should be cooked until it is thickened and creamy, but not so long that it becomes oily or breaks.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when it is served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat until it is warmed through.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Alfredo sauce is a great base for a variety of toppings, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, vegetables, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Alfredo sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With these tips, you can make a perfect Alfredo sauce every time.
