I was thinking of making homemade alfredo sauce the other day but I don't have a recipe for it. I was hoping that somebody here had a recipe that they could share with me...
I've never made a sauce before in my life either so I'm not looking for something too complicated to begin with. If your recipe is a not basic then please let me know so I am aware that it might take more effort and tries to get it right :) that's all.
1/2 cup butter
1 package cream cheese
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
pepper, to taste
1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter.
2. Once butter is almost melted, add the package of cream cheese. It's easiest to cut it into 4 pieces so that it melts quicker.
3. Once butter and cream cheese are mixed well together, add the cup of half and half, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and then shake pepper on top. Stir all together until well mixed.
4. Once it's mixed well and saucelike, take it off the burner and set aside so it can thicken up. Stir every few moments.
5. DONE! Pour over your favorite pasta, I love it with tortellini!
Don't forget some breadsticks to dip in the extra sauce! :)

60g butter
120ml double cream
6 tbsp freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp flour
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a pan and mix in the flour to form a basic roux. Add all the other ingredients and cook, stirring all the while until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (but do not allow to boil). Take off the heat and stir-in your favourite pasta or use as the topping for a pizza. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
