Alfredo Sauce
Easy to make and very enjoyable, especially on fresh pasta. It also can be used in place
of a white roux sauce (bechamel) and lends itself nicely to variations.
Ingredients:
One tablespoon (15 ml) butter
One garlic clove, pressed
One cup (250 ml) heavy cream
Three quarters cup (180 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
Method:
Using medium heat, melt the butter in a ten inch sautée pan. Add the pressed garlic
clove and cook for a few moments, then add the cream. Bring this to a low boil for a
minute or two then add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir constantly until the cheese
is fully melded into the sauce. The cheese provides the salt for this sauce; if it is too
salty add a little more cream. Serve over pasta of choice. Fettucine is traditional.
