Alfredo Sauce
|
Description:
After being disappointed with countless brands of alfredo sauce I decided
to try making my own. Through very yummy trial-and-error, this is the recipe I settled on.
It generally takes about an hour to prepare the whole thing.
The sauce can bubble a little bit with the heat, but do not let it boil!
You must use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
If you use pre-grated cheese, regardless of quality, it will be too dry and will not melt
properly. You will have chewy alfredo sauce--you have been warned.
