alfredo pasta

My family loves a good alfredo dish. I found this recipe a few years ago on Top Secret Recipe. This guy recreates dishes from restaurants, and posts the recipe! I've found several that I love to recreate. This recipe is a knock off from Olive Garden. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1/2 c (1 stick) bitter

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 c heavy cream

1/8 tsp ground black pepper

pinch salt

1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese

1 12-oz box fettuccine pasta (or your choice of pasta)

1) Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.

2) Add the garlic, cream, pepper & salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick.

3) While sauce cooks, bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it.

4) Spoon pasta onto serving plates with Alfredo sauce poured over the top.

Amy's Notes:

I also like to grill chicken and lay on the top of the pasta!! It really does take a while to get it to simmer, so cook the pasta when it says to cook it in the directions.
