Homemade Alfredo Sauce

Nguyên liệu

• 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed, but whole
• 3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• 16 ounces of fettuccine (one box) – I love this with DeLallo fettuccine or even their egg pappardelle

Cách làm

1. 1

   Melt butter in a large saucepan. Keep the heat very low, and add garlic cloves to butter. Let it cook until the garlic cloves are very fragrant – about 5 minutes. Remove garlic cloves from butter.

2. 2

   While garlic is infusing, fill a large pot of water and add several generous pinches of salt. Bring to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package directions.

3. 3

   Add heavy cream and broth to the butter. Whisk to incorporate, and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Just before serving, remove the sauce from heat. Whisk in Parmesan until fully melted and slightly thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

5. 5

   Toss with the cooked pasta, and, if needed, turn the heat back on briefly to get the sauce to bubble up and cling to the noodles. For a thinner sauce, add a bit more broth. For a thicker sauce, cook it a bit longer, or add 1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked with 1 tablespoon cold water. The sauce should cling to the pasta and be silky, luscious, and SO delicious. Serve immediately!
