nmr: Anyone have a good alfredo sauce recipe?

[cransplash]

I tried PW's recipe tonight, and while it was good, it wasn't awesome. (fwiw, I used freshly grated Parmesan; not the Kraft grated in a can kind.)

Does anyone have a really good one they care to share?

Here is the one I used tonight: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/fettuccine-alfredo-recipe.html

Making some tonight! I believe this is all....

1 cup heavy cream (I omit some and exchange it for half and half if there will be leftovers. It doesn't separate as bad.)
3 oz parm
2 oz mozz
A shit ton of garlic

We tend to add onion, broccoli and/or spinach when we make it.

Cooking light has a really good Alfredo sauce recipe. I usually double it and freeze half.

I use this recipe with added salt and pepper and more garlic (and a little water from the pasta pot if needed):

Trader joes! The bag frozen Alfredo. It tastes just like homemade and cooks in less than 10 mins!

Reduce cream, add some fresh parm, grated nutmeg.

I make mine like hamster's. So fast, so easy. Stir in some steamed broccoli and or shrimp, over pasta. YUM

Similar to spenjamins, except with a little butter, half and half, and without reducing: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/fettuccine-allalfredo-con-prosciutto-di-parma-recipe.html

Thanks, I knew I could count on your ladies!

If I were going to use a Food Network recipe for this, I'd absolutely pick Giada over that talentless hack called Pioneer Woman.

I haven't made this one, but I bet the lemon and nutmeg add the depth if flavor that was lacking from Talentless Hack's recipe:

This is the America's Test Kitchen recipe. Yep, looks like Talentless Hack is missing nutmeg. 


This is why your first stop for anything should never, ever be Pioneer Woman.
