Alfredo Sauce





Serves two.





500 ml whipping cream


120g butter, softened


1 cup grated Parmesan (80g approx)


6 cloves garlic, minced


Fresh ground black pepper





If desired:


Wafer-thin smoked ham


Mushrooms (button, crimini or chestnut are best)





Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and gently sweat garlic for 5 mins. Add cream and incorporate. Add cheese and stir until it is fully melted. Season with pepper. Continue heating over low heat until slightly thickened (final consistency should be like heavy cream).





If desired, add chopped, smoked ham and/or finely-sliced mushrooms (if using mushrooms, add halfway through the garlic sweating stage).





To serve: cook 60-100g pasta per person (preferably linguine, fettuccine or tagliatelle), drain and add to skillet. Toss to mix and serve over hot plates. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley.








This is NOT a low cal dish!
I buy Pasta-Roni in a box at the grocery store. They have all types of tastes. My favorite is Garlic and Oil. I keep several boxes on hand.
